26 Countries searching for the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 Boeing 777
Dozens of ships and aircraft have failed to find any piece of the
missing Malaysia Airways Boeing 777 that vanished more than few days ago
above waters south of Vietnam. Malaysian maritime officials have found some oil slicks in the South
China Sea and have sent a sample to a lab to see if it came from the
plane.
Hundreds of distraught relatives were gathered in a hotel in Beijing,
waiting to be flown to Malaysia. Of the 227 passengers, two-thirds were
Chinese. There were also 38 passengers and 12 crew members from
Malaysia, and others from elsewhere in Asia, Europe and North America. As hope fades for relatives of the 239 people who were aboard Flight
MH370, attention is focused on how two passengers managed to board the
aircraft using stolen passports.
