CLOSED BUT NO CLOSURE
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, missing since 2014, was probably steered off course and flown to the southern Indian Ocean, said a report. It gave no new clues, sparking anger
INTO THIN AIR
MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014, en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people .It is not clear why the jet abandoned its route shortly into the flight and then cruised south over the Indian Ocean
THE THEORIES
Analysis by the Australian government suggested MH370 ran out of fuel before plummeting. Other investigators speculated that a person was at the controls until the very end. Monday’s report didn’t support either theory explicitly. The plane’s loss of communications before veering off track was more likely due to systems “being manually turned off”
FAINT CLUES
A few pieces of wreckage from MH370 did wash up in Africa but no bodies have ever been recovered. The disappearance triggered the largest hunt in aviation history. But no sign of the jet was found in the Indian Ocean search zone and the Australian-led hunt was suspended last year. Malaysia says the hunt could be resumed but only if new clues emerge
NO HEADWAY
“The team is unable to determine the real cause for the disappearance of MH370," concluded the largely technical report
I am frustrated... There is nothing new in the report.
