Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the Malaysian government has officially ended the search for MH370 declaring the doomed airliner lost somewhere along the southern corridor in the Indian Ocean south of Perth, Australia.
"It is with deep sadness that Malaysia Airlines earlier this evening had to confirm to the families of those on board Flight MH370 that it must now be assumed the flight had been lost, "Airlines officials said in somber final announcement
One day after the statement was issued Chinese officials have demanded access to the satellite evidence which ended the nearly three week mystery into the lost airliner whereabouts.
Citing the Satellite images, which show large objects that are "with all probability" pieces of the aircraft, and other evidence from the British Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), officials called off the twelve nation search claiming the "deep waters" off the Australian coastline made it nearly impossible to find the Boeing 777.
Chinese citizens have become increasingly distraught over the Malaysian government's insensitivity, refusal to turn over evidence and the lack of transparency.
Malaysian Airlines flight 370, disappeared March 8 on a routine flight originating from Kuala Lumpur, destined for Beijing, China loaded with 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
What happened to the Boeing 777 still remains a mystery as every theory has been exhausted; no evidence or debris field has been seen, spotted or examined. Although after confirming cruising altitude of 35,000 no further communications was recorded. Additionally, no internal passenger or crew originating communications have been verified from family, friends, or carrier services.
An unprecedented twelve nation search has participated in the massive search and recovery mission with an ever expanding search grid, all efforts proved futile.
Nearly, three weeks after MH370 was reported missing, the Malaysian government determined the flight crashed into the Indian Ocean and there were no survivors.
"As the Prime Minister said, respect for the families is essential at this difficult time. We do not know why, and we do not know how this terrible tragedy happened. But as the Malaysia Airlines family, we are all praying for the passengers and crew of Flight MH370," said Malaysian Airline officials.
