how do you go about this somberly?

War of the worlds.. and our poor plane becomes a thing of collateral damage..
ill-fated they say.. but who truly knows what really happened?
Conspiracy theories aside, it is hard to not feel sad for the nation, for our national carrier.. 
This is when the country is still reeling from the recent tragedy that is MH370
As shock and confusion sink in.. It became obvious that this is a thing much bigger than being just "a malaysian thing".. more than half of those who perished were Dutch, not to mention the various few nations
This is truly a tragedy that transcends borders.. 
It's no good comparing the Dutch and the Chinese.. likewise it's no use comparing the MH17 to the MH370 tragedies.. Equally saddening, that's what it is.

It is most unfortunate that there is no survivor from both tragedies
It is most unfortunate that my country is now to be known rather infamously for reasons less coveted
