Flight MH370 news: Final attempts at search and rescue to begin 2018

The ongoing investigation of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 aircraft, which went missing sometime in March of 2014, is proving to be more difficult. At this point, the aircraft could be literally anywhere in the world. However, family members of the passengers, along with their lawyers, have raised very important concerns regarding the destruction of evidence amidst the investigation which becomes more vital with every passing moment.

In a report by the International Business Times, the process could essentially be a lot faster if the talks between the Malaysian government and Ocean Infinity, the seabed exploration company, could come to agreeable terms. Ocean Infinity, which is based in the U.S., is willing to undergo the task of once again utilizing their technology to aid in search for the missing aircraft.

According to the New Straits Times, one final effort to search for the missing aircraft, along with the 239 passengers is targeted to commence sometime in January of 2018, with some of the details still being ironed out. The Deputy Transport Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi has stated that it is mandatory for a final attempt at a search and rescue for situations such as these. He has assured the people that the report is being finalized.

It is important to note that the passengers are now declared dead, which could be problematic for family members who are seeking closure on the matter. Courier Mail has reported that Malaysian lawyers of the firm Tommy Thomas are finding that the necessary due documents about the incident have not all been delivered or disclosed to those concerned. Demands are now being made for documents such as the pilot's psychiatric evaluations.

However, others suspect that the incident is now being shrouded in politics and misdirection. According to Asia Times, two foreign chief executives from Malaysia Airlines have already resigned after the tragedy which could be deemed as highly suspicious. The change in stakeholders as well as the drastic turnover in employees could have something to do with the delay of the investigation.

It is also possible that misappropriation of wealth has something to do with the root problem of Malaysia Airlines.
