Air tragedies are not really frequent but their consequences are extremely high. The 7th of March a Malayisia Airlines flight had an accident over the sea, and since that day both, the airplane and all the passengers, haven´t been found.

An incredible big search has been put in action since that day in order to find them. A new ship (DMS Seahorse Standard) will join a flotilla of three other Australian vessels by the weekend, with other six Chinese ships and the Malaysian frigate KD Leiku. Apart from all this, there were 10 aircraft in the search area 1850 kilometres west of Perth on Tuesday.

This search is really complicated. Angus Houston, head of Joint Agency Coordination Centre, talks about the difficulty of this particular search as there is lack of awareness about the velocity of the airplane and how far it travelled. He warns that, in case they don´t find surface debris or wreckage, the search will become incredibly complicated. He mentions other cases where the search last a lot longer than what it was expected, as it happened with the disappearance of HMAS Sydney, which took 60 years to locate.

He also admits that technology has improved a lot since then, but the main problem is that the Australian Maritime Safety Authority revealed a new search area about 1100 kilometres north-east of the previous zones on Friday. It´s not an exact science, but this happened because the plane had been travelling faster than what it was firstly thought.

So, all in all, although the situation seems to be really difficult, countries and everyone who is involved is trying to do their best to find them, despite some of the familiars of the passengers don´t think so and say they aren´t getting enough information about the recovery operation.


Double your five-a-day fruit and vegetables to live longer (Isabel Sánchez)

A new study published by UCL recommends eating ten portions of fruit and vegetables per day , instead of eating the five portions as it was said on the World Health Organisation recommendations issued in 1990. Since that year the advised was to eat 400 gr of fruit and vegetables per day to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, type-two diabetes and obesity, but a new study demonstrate that is not adequate.
Fruit and vegetables protect our body from different diseases, but the protective effect they have increased when you eat more fruit or vegetables, so when this new study discovered it wanted to send a clear message, ``However much fruit and vegetables are you eating now, eat more´´ 

But this does not end here, health experts talk to the government to reduce the cost of fruit and vegetables, and their suggest to do this is to put taxes on the sugary and junk food, their principal argument is that humans are not designed to be omnivorous and not to eat fast food.

Also, this study made a statistic in Britain with people who ate different number of fruit per day, and eating seven to ten portions could reduced persons risk of premature death in a 42 %, also it was found that vegetables are much more beneficial tan fruits, each portion of vegetables reduced in a 16% in exchange each portion of fruit only a 4%.

From my point of view I agree completely with the scientists, and I think humans were designed to be eat fruit and vegetables and not junk food, so everybody should try to eat more fruit and vegetables to enjoy more time alive.
