Relatives told Malaysia Airlines’ flight ended in Indian Ocean

Monday, 24 Mar, 2014 0

Relatives of passengers and crew have been informed that Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

In a text message, families were told that they have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that flight MH370 was lost and none of those on board survived.

Najib Razak, the Malaysian Prime Minister told a press conference that new analysis by the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch and tracking firm Inmarsat suggested the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after take-off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8.

Much debris has been found in remote waters off Australia but no confirmed sightings of the plane have been made yet.

According to Sky News, the families of the passengers on the missing plane are now due to be booked on to flights to take them to Australia.

The announcement was made as an Australian navy ship was on its way today to retrieve two new objects spotted by military aircraft in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.

HMAS Success was expected to reach the two objects by tomorrow morning at the latest, Malaysia’s government said, as a mounting number of sightings of floating objects raised hopes wreckage of the plane may soon be found.
