|| MH370 - The Tragedy Continues.. ||

The 239 passengers and crew on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 have been declared dead, their disappearance formally declared an accident. This clears the way for families to seek compensation, as the plane remains missing

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on 8 March 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 passengers and crew members on board. The incident is under investigation. Malaysia's Prime Minister, Najib Razak has stated the aircraft's flight ended somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but no further explanation has been given.

Investigators with Malaysia's Civil Aviation authority concluded the aircraft exhausted its fuel supply over the southern Indian Ocean and is on the seafloor. Despite an extensive international search in the southern Indian Ocean, no trace of the aircraft has been found. Officials confirmed that the recovery operation was ongoing but that the 239 people onboard are presumed dead.

With the passage of time, the absence of MH370 debris becomes increasingly puzzling.

Recently Emirates Airlines CEO Tim Clarke expressed frustration over the ATSB analysis of the plane's fate, saying: "Our experience tells us that in water incidents, where the aircraft has gone down, there is always something." There's an old saw that's oft quoted in discussions of MH370: "The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." But from a Bayesian perspective, the absence of data is itself data. The more time passes without debris wound up on a shore, the greater the possibility that the plane did not go into the ocean.

Regardless of all the theories connected to the missing flight, we can't deny that none of them will help the families of the passengers to get any means of closure. Our prayers shall forever remain with the Passengers and Crew of Flight 370 and their families.
