Kin of those aboard Flight 370 react to search suspension

“We are confident we are searching in the right area”.

A map released by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority details the search area for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, April 7, 2014.

The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will be suspended rather than shut down if the plane is not found in the current search area, officials say.

Malaysia and several countries involved in the search of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will continue to find the best method to search in the remaining 10,000 square kilometre areas. “I also want to reassure families and friends that we’re all on the same chain”.

Ms Grace Nathan, daughter of missing passenger Anne Daisy, said: “We need to know what new information they need in order to continue the search”. Every effort has been made.

So far, they’ve scoured about 110,000 square feet in a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean, hunting for traces of the passenger jet and the 239 people it was carrying.

The search was initially expected to be complete by July or August of this year, but the JACC said it could take longer if there is more bad weather or equipment failure. “Based on that, we searched the area”.

“Ministers took the opportunity to reflect on the enormous sense of grief felt by so many people following the tragic disappearance of MH370 and again acknowledged and expressed their gratitude to the many nations of the world that had provided expertise and other assistance over the subsequent nearly two and a half years”, the statement reads. They need more information so that they can progress and put more money into this because it’s costing an absolute fortune. “I’m sorry for being so frank but you have the most at stake here”, she said at a news conference. Whoever is holding them now, please free them. The document reveals that Malaysian authorities gave the Federal Bureau of Investigation hard drives that were used by Shah to record simulated flight sessions that he conducted on his personal flight simulator that he kept at his home.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, majority being Chinese nationals. All those on board are presumed dead. Confirmed and possible debris has been found off East Africa thousands of kilometers (miles) away, but authorities have said the wreckage has provided no information that might help locate the bulk of the aircraft. Much of what happened to the plane remains a mystery, though the Malaysian government has concluded that it was deliberately steered off course.

Pattiaratchi said he had told Gibson that Flight 370 debris was likely to concentrate on Madagascar.
