(Bloomberg) — Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said his government is committed to solving the "agonizing mystery" of Flight 370 as the country marks the second anniversary of the aircraft's disappearance.
Vessels looking for the Malaysia Airlines jet are due to finish scouring 120,000 square kilometers (46,330 square miles) of southern Indian Ocean in the middle of this year. If that search fails, officials from Malaysia, Australia and China will gather "to determine the way forward," Najib said in an e-mailed statement Tuesday.
The Boeing Co. 777 that vanished from radar on March 8, 2014 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur has become modern aviation's biggest mystery. There has been no trace of the 239 people on board. Their families are urging authorities to keep the search alive, while investigators say the hunt will end unless fresh clues are found.
