The ocean is a scary place as its huge body of water makes up about 70% of our world. Natural elements in and around the ocean can be very dangerous if not being cautious. On June 1 2009, Air France Flight 447, on a schduled international passenger flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. On June 2 2009, some debris of the plane were found in the ocean. So far, no survivors have been found.
This accident is by far the deadliest in the history of Air France. The cause is still unkown as the blackbox of the plane is not found. Air France representatives said there is no hope for survivors. On June 3 2009, a memorial was held in Notre Dame de Paris, to commemorate the victims of this incident.
May the victims rest in peace...
It is quite sad actually that this accident happened. 228 lives were lost just like that. Nature can be very cruel sometimes. That is why we must learn to love nature and treasure it before more unfortunate events take place.
For the past week, the swine flu has become a popular topic among many people. It came suddenly, a highly contagious disease that affects the respiratory system. In United States, New York has the highest number of affected so far, but luckily none had been fatal. It is discovered that most of the affected has been to Mexico, where the disease supposedly originated from. In Mexico, there are several cases of this swine flu that led to death. That is why a lot of health organizations are now sending precautions and warnings to people to keep them safe from this disease.
To learn more about the swine flu, you can visit this link, a fact sheet from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I just hope that everyone will be safe and please take precaution before it is too late. Wear a mask, wash your hands, do whatever to keep you safe. Prevention is always better than cure.
