MH370 Search Update: Relatives Of Passengers Believe ‘Something Is Being Covered Up’; Hunt Leads To Scientific Discoveries Instead
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 remains missing even after six months of its disappearance. The relatives of the passengers of the aircraft refuse to believe that the missing Boeing 777 ended in Indian Ocean in the absence of traces or debris. Sarah Bajc, girlfriend of passenger of MH370, believes that the investigators are not telling the truth.
While speaking to NBC News, Sarah Bajc, girlfriend of Philip Wood, the passenger of MH370, expressed her disappointment in the search efforts. She believes that "something is being covered up." Not only that, she reportedly feels that "there are active steps being taken to interfere with finding the plane."
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing on March 8, 2014 while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The airplane was carrying 239 passengers and reportedly lost contact with the radar within few minutes after it took off from Malaysia airport. Noting the satellite findings, on March 24, 2014, Malaysian government announced that the plane "ended up in southern Indian Ocean."
Sarah Bajc states that the families of MH370 passengers feel that there should be "an independent investigating group," which is allowed to "access" all kinds of related data "to be able to go back and start the investigation from the beginning to see if" they can figure what actually happened to the missing Boeing 777.
The report notes that Sarah Bajc spoke on the behalf of families who have "no confidence" the existing investigating team, who she feels may never be able to discover MH370.
"Failure to release information - whether its obfuscation, you know, actually covering something up - or dishonesty... creating false evidence or just hiding something, right? We don't know why or what is being covered up, but something is being covered up," Sarah Bajc said.
Philip Wood, 50, was an employee at IBM Malaysia and was travelling from Kuala Lumpur when he went missing with the plane. It is reported, Sarah Bajc was about to shift her base from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur to live with her boyfriend.
Sarah Bajc says that in the absence of evidence proving her boyfriend is dead, she hopes that he is still alive. She is determined to find the proof that proves otherwise. While speaking to the media outlet, she even mentioned that the airlines should use "round-the-clock" GPS tracking system, which is not so expensive.
Meanwhile, the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 continues and is about to enter a new phase on Sept. 22. In half a year the investigators have failed to find traces of the plane but have successfully made some scientific discoveries. According to Fox News, Dr. Stuart Minchin, with Geoscience Australia, the company in-charge of studying and analysing data from the search, has confirmed the discovery of new seamounts and volcanoes. However, Australian PM Tony Abbott promised to remain committed and "use the best technology" to find the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. He made the promise in a press conference held on Sept. 6 where he was accompanied by Malaysian PM Najib Razak.
