Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Crash Site Found In Southern Indian Ocean
|
| Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak announced on Monday that according to new data, flight MH370 had been found and it ended in the southern Indian Ocean. |
Though no wreckage has yet been recovered, new satellite data, in
conjunction with what was already known, has revealed the location where the
missing plane went down.Because the flight went down in the middle of the ocean, it seems investigators have officially given up hope of any survivors. Malaysian Airlines issued the following statement:
"We deeply regret that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived… We must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean."

A heartbreaking statement of defeat. Malaysian Prime Minister
Najib Razak backed the story in his own statement Monday morning.
He said:
"This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."
We may have had weeks to brace ourselves for this news, but it doesn't make it any easier to bear. But the PM did have some words of determination. He said:

"The ongoing multinational search operation will continue, as we seek
answers to the questions which remain."
We hope something can be found to give some closure to the families of the
239 lost souls. So tragic.

The flight has been successful in terms
of what we were looking for today. We were looking for debris in the
water and we sighted a number of
objects on the surface and beneath the surface visually as we flew over the
top if it,' The first object was rectangular in shape and slightly below
the ocean.
The second object was circular, also slightly below the ocean. We came across a long cylindrical object that was possibly two meters long, 20 cm across.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished less than an hour after take-off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8.
