Still no answer for missing Malaysian airliner as search continues
PESSIMISM clouded over the relatives with the passengers onboard the Malaysia Airlines missing aircraft at a Beijing hotel this morning, as the airline’s officials asked them to have mental preparation.
The representatives with the airlines who flew to Beijing at 10:30 last night with a delegation said rescue forces still found no signals in the area where the Boeing 777 went missing 30 hours since it lost contact.
The airline was now pessimistic on the incident thus still hoped conditions could become better, the business director with the airline who led the 90-people delegation with the airline told family members at the Beijing Lido Hotel this morning.
He said the rescue forces still failed to find the black box might because the aircraft has been seriously dismantled. The black box can normally send signals to over 200 kilometers, but the rescue team could not detect.
His remarks threw the meeting room with about 120 relatives of the missing passengers into a deep sorrow. A female relative cried and fainted. She was soon taken out of the room by medical workers standby. A man who looked calmer walked out from the room and wept alone near a corner.
A woman surnamed Zhang whose husband was onboard the plane said her husband wanted to give her a surprise to take the MH370 flight to come back to Beijing ahead of schedule to spend the Women’s Day with her.
Some assistant workers from the airline in blue jacket who can speak Mandarin tried to conciliate the family members. A worker kneeled down and told one of the relatives to “stick on.”
The assistant workers then began handing out sheets to the relatives to collect information and asked them to prepare their passports. The airline’s official said the carrier plans to send two family members with each passenger onboard to the scene in Vietnam right after the rescue work came to a result.
A press officer with the Lido Hotel where the family members were accommodated said the airline’s officials met the families about once every 15 minutes this morning. They then had a lunch together at the hotel’s restaurant around noon.
