MH 370 Malaysian Plane Mystery: Half Year Gone, Kiwi Passenger’s Wife Says Probe Is Not Convincing
Sept. 8 was the half year milestone of the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370. The distressed kin of the passengers are still in a state of shock and anxiety for not having any convincing answers.
Stuff.co.Nz reported that Danica Weeks, an MH370 widow, made some candid remarks as she is feeling let down by the pace of Malaysian investigation. She wanted to know how the plane vanished from their radar. She also called for more transparency in the probe similar to the Australian agency, which is leading the sea search of the missing jet.
Key Questions
Danica Weeks lost her Kiwi husband Paul Weeks on Flight MH370. Now after 6 months, she and other family members have no answers. The question she wanted to raise about MH 370 is how did the plane went missing in the first place? "Malaysia's silence on this question is fuelling many suspicions among the victims' families," Weeks said.
The Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared with 239 people on board. It had two New Zealanders on board. Even after 6 months, investigators are claiming they are still the studying 1,000 possible flight paths.According to a BBC report, some dramatic events may provoke conspiracy theories when the official version falls short. In the case of MH370, there has been no official version at all.
"The revelations by Edward Snowden revealed the global surveillance by the US National Security Agency. In such a scenario, it is hard to believe an airliner can simply disappear," said Jovan Byford, the author of Conspiracy Theories: A Critical Introduction.
It Can Happen Again
Weeks wanted a minute by minute update on matters like when the plane actually departed from Kuala Lumpur and how did they lose it. Weeks said she was afraid that they may not know the answers, and if that scenario persists, it could happen again.
However, Martin Dolan, ATSB's chief commissioner, claimed that a clear picture of the plane's final trajectory has emerged. There is infinite number of tracks an aircraft could have taken. Doan added that the probe team zeroed in on about 1,000 tracks to assume that it turned south.
