It is officially declared that the loss of MH370 was due to an accident

#MH370 #flightdatarecorder The Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 with 329 people on board that had vanished soon after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur is being treated as an accident and everybody on board is presumed to be dead. This is after 327 days from the incident.
This announcement has now cleared the way for the company to pay compensation to families. Of course, some relatives of victims believe there is still a chance their loved ones may be alive and several relatives could not accept the decision.
Civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, has indicated that the search effort had followed up every credible lead and reviewed all available data, but was unable to locate the plane and has assured that the hunt for the wreckage would continue.
Azharuddin has added that the absence of any physical evidence, especially the flight recorders, would mean that there was nothing to speculate on the cause of the disappearance. He has indicated that an interim statement on the investigation would be made public on or around the first anniversary of the accident.
It may be recalled that the Boeing lost contact with air traffic control shortly after take-off from Kuala Lumpur en-route to Beijing on 8 March last year and this remains one of aviation’s biggest mysteries till date.
