After almost a year and a half of continuous search, families of those involved in this unfortunate incident than finally begin have some sort of real closure.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, with 239 people aboard, disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, early on March 8, 2014, whilst bound for Beijing.
The search for the long missing and much sought after Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 could be nearing completion, as debris found near a French Island seems consistent with the missing aircraft.
The debris, found in the Western Indian Ocean island of Reunion, seems to point towards a Boeing 777 airplane. Malaysian experts are being flown in to assess whether it could be off flight MH370.
It is a week since the disappearance of flight MH370 and there is a new dimension to the story as investigators say the missing Malaysia Airlines jet was hijacked, steered off-course and could have reached Pakistan.
This news comes at a time when many people were losing hope in a possible rescue as nothing concrete has been found yet.
According to a Malaysian government official, people with significant flying experience could have turned off the flight’s communication devices—and that is the reason why all traces are not possible as at now.
The representative said that hijacking theory was now ‘conclusive’, and, as a result, police have raided the luxury homes of both the captain and the co-pilot.
Zahari Ahmad Shah, 53, the pilot, and Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, are now being investigated as police in Kuala Lumpur search for signs of foul play.
