As I was queueing at the UK Immigration upon landing, Pisang texted
Cik P: THANK GOD YOU'VE LANDED!!!!! ... Wait, you HAVE landed right?!
Me: Yes I have.. Why? Miss me? Dude, it's only been 12 hours *smirks*
Cik P: No you idiot! There was a MAS crash! I was worried!
Not long after that a few other Malaysians that just landed from the same MH4 flight were also talking about the same thing; the MAS flight getting shot down somewhere close to Russia.
We were all of course saddened by the news, but at the same time we couldn't help but to say thank you to God for our safe landing.. Alhamdulillah.
We did our maths and we probably just passed that area about an hour before the incident :/ It's still kinda eerie to think how we just passed by the same route as MH17, though in opposite direction (because all MAS flights between Europe-KL takes the same route apparently), and instead of MH17, it could've been our flight, MH4. O.O Nauzubillah, astaghfirullahalazim.
It could've happened to any one of us.
It was a very tragic and unfortunate event, not just for the families of the victims, but for both airline companies and involved countries too.
Al-Fatihah.
