The Guardian is a British daily newspaper and has a reputation for being liberal and left-wing in its political stance. It was founded by John Edward Taylor on May 5, 1821. Its headquarters are located in Kings Place, London. It has two sister newspapers called The Observer and the Guardian Weekly. Its edited is Katherine Viner and the newspaper is owned by the Guardian Media Group. Its original name was the Manchester Guardian before they changed the in name in 1959.

Indonesia, known as the second most top country for its aviation technology, has had an incident where one of its planes crashed into the waters of the Jakarta sea. The flight was JT610 with 189 passengers, none survived. This has now been Indonesia's second worst plane accident in history. No one knows the exact cause or reason to why the plane dived into sea waters. Only thing that was on record was that the 13 minutes after the plane took off, the plane lost contact with air traffic. As the pilot tried returning base, the plane went straight into the waters according to the flight data.

The writer provides multiple examples of logos, pathos, and ethos as The Guardian informs its audience about this tragic accident. Logos is shown in here as the writer provides detailed minutes after the plane boarded of its last record according to the flight data. She also refers and sources the flight data making her credible in her report and showing ethos. Pathos is highly influential to all audiences that are reading this because 189 people were confirmed dead. Everyone passenger, even the pilot died from this plane accident. Ethos is again used by the author as she quotes the Executive Chief of the Airline itself.

In my opinion, plane crashes are devastating and terrifying to know that this one was Indonesia's 2nd most tragic accident thus far. Indonesia was told for its "patchy" plane safety which makes me question and concern its reliability for being also known as the most innovated aviation tool country. Quite ironic.
