M370

Malaysia Airlines M380

Almost a year back  Malaysia Airlines M370 went missing.  For the first months it was all over the news but slowly it started to fade out of the headlines and became another missing mystery. But push back a couple of months part of an airplane wing was found  which officials say were most certainly part of the M370. Apart from that nothing has been found.

Relatives of people on board has offered 3 million dollars for any information regarding the M370

Other theories  included , Terrorist attacks, suicide attempts, or the cabin pressure suddenly dropped causing the pilot to lose consciousness.   

Captain Zaharie Shah was the pilot flying the M370. Many theories have come up saying that he intentionally crashed the plane to commit suicide. A safety editor from Flight Global has said that the only possible answer for the missing plane is a deliberate act by someone on board. That's when all fingers started pointing towards the pilot.  The M380 has so many backup systems that it seems impossible to be anything but a suicide.  All together on the M380 were 239 people on board.

Short Story Ending

Ms Moratti read us a story and we had to interpretate what might happen at the end.

The Boy At The Door

WALT: add details to explain and finish the mystery.

The silent boy takes a another step closer to the my bed now close enough to reach his bony hand into the small box. Was he after the toys? Were they his? I become unaware if this is still a dream or if in reality i'm wide awake. The boy is close enough now for me to see his tear stained face, joy sparkles in his eyes when he collects the stolen toys. He then tiptoes away in the direction of the Edwardian room.

I wake up startle my eyes as wide as a dodgeball. I flip my feet off the bed  and sprint to the box were late last night I hid my newly collected toys. There gone. Who was that boy and why did he take my toys? I trudge down the stairs to breakfast my brain lost amongst my confusion. My legs felt like rubber while my hands are uncontrollable with their shaking.    

Granny sits across the table with me and smiles her morning smile, teeth shining, dimples showing.
“ Good morning Gran,” I say trying to control my shaking voice.

“ Good moooorning,” she replies with an overpowering feel of energy. She continues to talk.

“ I have a story to tell you and what a mysterious one it is.” She normally tells me a story every day while the porridge is cooking on the stove, so it doesn't seem like anything out of the blue. The story she tells are fascinating the next even more amazing than the one before. She begins.

“ Well as you know I have grown up in this house, from the very day I was born to hopefully the very day I die, I love it here. I use to have a bestfriend that would come round each day and together we would play with my set of kings, queens, knights and castles.”  

Her saying this made my stomach  churn I knew what I had done 2 nights ago was coming around to bite me in the bum. But she still continues.

“ One day he didnt come round, neither did he come the next day, next week, next month or even year. They never found him,” she finishes with the slightest bit of a sigh escaping her throat.

“How old was he?” I question before I realised it had even left my mouth.

“Oh, such a young lad, probably just a year younger than you.”

I sprint away from the table up the stairs and right into the Edwardian room. I thrust open the cupboard and there he is sitting there playing with the toys a startled expression appears  across his face and as soon as he was there he was gone.

Walt : Analyse blood splats and explain the details.

2cm	0.5cm:Wide     3.9 cm:Long My two cm was a long thin shape and a majority of the blood was thicker towards the bottom. Colour: Medium / Light Red
10cm	0.5cm:Wide     3.8cm:Long The 10 cm was similar to the 2 cm but just the slightest bit shorter and the blood sat towards the bottom. Colour: Light Red
20cm	7cm: Wide        3.8cm Long This one was a blob but had 4 drops along side probably from the impact. it was the most dense around the edges. Colour: Dark Red
50cm	1.3cm: Wide       1.3cm: Long This is one was a perfect circle but a majority of the blood was towards the top of the circle. Colour: Dark to Light Red
1m	1.7cm: Wide       1.7cm: Long One again a perfect circle but this one had triangle kind of shapes sticking out of the square. The density was in stripes towards the middle. Colour: Light to Dark Red
1.5m	1.3cm: Wide       1.1cm: Long This dot was small and the blood was completely evened out. There was a tiny dot sitting a couple of cm away. Colour Red : Light Red

Blood Splats

In class we have been learning about forensic scientists. We were seeing how height can change the appearance of blood splats. The height we did were 2cm, 10cm, 20cm, 50cm, 1m, & 1.5m. My blood splats didn't really change but some peoples the higher they went the more of a splat it caused. For the blood we used watered down red paint and used a pippete to squeeze a single dot out.  This was part of our Inquiry.
