Missing MH370 'Ended' in Indian Ocean, Malaysia's PM Say
New satellite data analysis has
showed that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed into the
southern Indian Ocean, Malaysia's prime minister told a news conference
on Monday.
Najib Razak said
flight data suggested that the Boeing 777's "last position was in the
middle of the Indian Ocean west of Perth, [Australia]."
He added: “This is a
remote location, far from any possible landing site. It is therefore
with deep sadness and regret that according to this data the flight
ended in the southern Indian Ocean.”
The prime minister said that his announcement was based on data analyzed by the U.K. Air Accidents Investigation Branch and satellite firm Inmarsat.
He
said the British agency and Inmarsat had been "performing further
calculations on the data, using a type of analysis, never before used in
an investigation of this sort."
“Malaysia
Airlines have already spoken to the families of the passengers and crew
to inform them of this development,” the prime minister added. “For
them the past few weeks have been heartbreaking. I know this news must
be harder still.”
Earlier, the families of passengers aboard the aircraft were sent text messages by the airline telling them that the plane been "lost."
After
more than two weeks of mystery and speculation, the prime minister's
announcement was the first confirmation of the fate of the Boeing 777
that vanished on March 8.
Flight
MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after
taking off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people on board.
Attention and resources
in the search for the Boeing 777 have shifted from an initial focus
north of the equator to an increasingly narrowed stretch of rough sea, thousands of miles from the plane's original flight path.
