Update: Malaysian Airlines MH370 Plunged into Southern Indian Ocean (VIDEO)

Here is the update (March 24, 2014) of the missing Malaysian Airlines MH370. According to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 plunged into the Indian Ocean south of Perth, Australia and there are no survivors.

“This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean,” Razak said during a media conference.

The plane has been missing for more than two weeks since it vanished March 8 with 289 people on board after it took off from Kuala Lampur bound for Beijing.

“[Inmarsat] has been performing calculations on the data using type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort and they have been able to shed more light on MH370. Based on the new analysis, Inmarsat and the (British) Accidents Investigation Branch have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor and that it’s last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth,” Razak said.

He noted that Malaysia Airlines had already been in touch with the families of the 289 people on board, saying that he knew the past few weeks had been “heartbreaking” for them and that this latest development must be harder still.
