Families of MH370 Passengers Urge For A Fresh Search

Bangkok: An association representing the families of the 239 passengers, who disappeared with Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in 2014, on Sunday called for a fresh search to find the aircraft. At a public event held in Kuala Lumpur, a few days before the fifth anniversary of the tragedy, Voice 370 requested Malaysian authorities to start a fresh search, which would be the third since the disappearance of the plane, reported Efe news. “Many amongst us continue to struggle... Give us answers to what, why and how, and if it comes to it, who. Give us the truth,” said KS Narendran whose wife was onboard MH370 when it mysteriously disappeared. Grace Nathan, whose mother was also on board, called the tragedy an incurable wound and said that a new search would be an investment into improving global aeronautical security. The event was also attended by the Malaysian Transport Minister, Anthony Loke who clarified that efforts to find the plane had not been abandoned. He said that the Malaysian government welcomes any lead or credible evidence to restart the search. Two previous searches, spread over one part of the Indian Ocean, had failed to locate the remains of the plane. During Sunday’s event, flaperon, a part of the Boeing 777, was displayed to the public for the first time. However, the whereabouts of the main part of the fuselage remain unknown. (IANS)
