flight.

were 227 passengers on flight MH370 while many of them were Chinese. Relatives of
those on board who watched the announcement at a Beijing hotel wept with grief,
and some were taken away on stretchers by medical team as News Agencies
reported.

the past days , both Australian and Chinese Air Force crews have reportedly
spotting debris. The unidentified objects have been see in separate parts of
the large searched areas, in some of the world’s most treacherous and remote
waters.

came at a late-night news conference in Kuala Lumpur. It was based on new
analysis by British Satellite firm Inmarsat, which provided satellite data and
the UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch{AAIB}.The firms have concluded that
MH370 flew along the southern Corridor and that it’s last location was in the
middle of the Indian Ocean , west of perth, Mr
Najib said.
This
is a remote area, far from any possible landing sites.it is therefore with deep
sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this data
provided, Flight MH370 ended up in Southern Indian Ocean.
Mr
Najib appealed to the media to respect the privacy of the families of the
passengers and crew, saying the wait for information had been heartbreaking and
the latest news harder still.
The
text message sent to families by Malaysia Airlines announcing the loss of the
plane said; ” Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond
any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of the passengers
on board survived…we must all accept evidence suggests the plane went down in
the southern Indian Ocean.”
