'Deep Sadness': Full Text of Malaysia PM's Statement on Flight 370
Full text of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s statement Monday on the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370:
“This
evening I was briefed by representatives from the U.K. Air Accidents
Investigation Branch, or AAIB. They informed me that Inmarsat, the U.K.
company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern
and southern corridors, has been performing further calculations on the
data.
Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of
this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370’s flight
path.
“Based on the new
analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the
southern corridor and that its last position was in the middle of the
Indian Ocean, west of Perth. 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 will be holding a
press conference tomorrow with further details. In the meantime, we
wanted to inform you of this new development at the earliest
opportunity. We share this information out of a commitment to openness
and respect for the families, two principles which have guided this
investigation. Malaysia Airlines have already spoken to the families of
the passengers and crew to inform them of this development. For them,
the past few weeks have been heartbreaking. I know this news must be
harder still. I urge the media to respect their privacy and allow them
the space they need at this very difficult time.”
