After more than four years on the biggest mystery in the modern civil aviation world, relatives of the Malaysian airplane’s passengers that was lost in 2014, criticized the report of the investigation team, saying it gave no new clues.
The relatives of 239 passengers on board flight MH3 370 hoped the official report would provide information that would allow them to mourn their family members.
Some of them criticized the report at a meeting held at the Malaysian Ministry of Transport earlier this week, where they received the report before it was officially published. They considered it a technical report.
The 400-page paper concluded that the investigation team "is unable to determine the true cause behind the flight's disappearance."
Intan Maizura Othman, whose husband was on MH370 that disappeared on March 8, 2014, shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, said the meeting between relatives and officials descended into a "shouting match" as family members expressed their frustration.
G. Subramaniam, who also lost a son on the flight, said: “Many asked questions but unsatisfactory responses left many angry.”
According to satellite-based analyses for the possible path of the plane, no trace of the jet was found in a 120,000 square kilometer search zone in the southern Indian Ocean facing the Australian coasts.
In January 2017, the largest sea exploration in history, which kicked off after the 2014 crash led by Australia, in coordination with Malaysia and China, was suspended.
About 20 pieces of wreckage were found on the western shores of the Indian Ocean facing the East African coasts, far from the search zone. The authorities confirmed that the remains may refer to the Malaysian plane, but that did not solve the mystery.
