New year 2015 has arrived, and people around the world are wondering what 2015 will have in store for them.

Questions have been tossed around in internet with many people wondering if the coming year will be another 12 months filled with tragic flight disasters and disappearances, and if something major will happen in the global geo-political scenario that will be historic in nature.

Will there be a deadly disease outbreak like Ebola? Will there be great natural calamities such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? What will happen to great personalities and celebrities around the world? What will the entire world look like in 2015?

Although there is no way to take confidence in the veracity of all the reported predictions for the New Year, they are, nonetheless, interesting enough to take a look at.
