Malaysian Airline Flight MH370 'has been lost and none of those on board survived,' officials confirm



Officials have confirmed that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed into the Indian Ocean and there are no survivors among the 239 people on board.

However, officials gave no indication during Monday’s announcement as to what happened on flight MH370 during its final hours, leaving relatives with little closure on the fate of the flight’s victims.

Malaysian prime minster Najib Razak held a press conference Monday evening and said that it was with “great sadness” that new data had shown the plane’s last location was in the Southern Indian Ocean, southwest of Perth, Australia.

“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,” he said.

“This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites.”



He also said the airline officials have spoken to the families of the passengers and crew to inform them of the development.

“We share this information out of a commitment to openness and respect for the families, two principles guiding this investigation,” Najib said.

“I urge the media to respect their privacy, and to allow them the space they need at this difficult time.”

He added that Malaysian officials will hold a press conference Tuesday to give more details.
