And the tragedy that struck.
About 300 people were killed on that flight when a missile crashed into that flight in the Ukraine as it left Amsterdam. About 28 Australians died including an International student from Melbourne University.
Elaine Teoh was one such Malaysian from Penang and Melbourne Uni who had died in this horrible accident. Along too was her boyfriend.
As such the University of Melbourne is offering free counselling to all affected staff and students. Swinburne is offering the same too as one of their students died.
Ms Teoh worked in IG a financial services company and so did her boyfriend. As such IG wishes to offer its condolences to the couple.
“IG Australia wishes to send its deepest sympathies and our heartfelt condolences to the families of our colleague and former colleague Elaine Teoh and Emiel Mahler (the boyfriend),” the company said in a statement, according to Meld.
At the airport everyone was sad on that Friday and Saturday but afterwards everyone was back to normal.
As such the fireworks had been cancelled in Melbourne and students were devastated. President Naphine expressed his sympathies and so did Tony Abbott.
What would this mean for people?
More scares might mean less flying and less international students especially from Malaysia for now. But maybe in a couple of months time there might be more of them as people may have restored their confidence.
But for now all the universities are offering free counselling services for their students who are affected by the tragedy.
If you are affected by this tragedy then do go and see your university's counselling service as they are offering it for free to all students and staff
