According to CNN Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went down over the southern Indian Ocean,
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday, citing a new analysis of satellite data by a
British satellite company and accident investigators, and apparently ending hopes that anyone survived.
A relative of a missing passenger briefed by the airline in Beijing said, "They have told us all lives
are lost."
Razak based his announcement on what he described as unprecedented analysis of satellite
data sent by the plane by British satellite provider Inmarsat and the British Air Accidents
Investigation Branch. He didn't describe the nature of the analysis.
But he said it made it clear that the plane's last position was in the middle of the remote southern
Indian Ocean, "far from any possible landing sites."
He begged reporters to respect the privacy of relatives.
"For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking," he said. "I know this news must be
harder still."
Razak's statement came after the airline sent a text message to relatives saying it "deeply regrets
that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH 370 has been lost and that none
of those onboard survived."
Reporters could hear wailing coming from a briefing for relatives of missing passenger in Beijing.
A woman walked out of a briefing for relatives near Kuala Lumpur crying.
A Facebook page dedicated to the only American aboard the flight, Philip Wood, said of relatives
that "our collective hearts are hurting now."
MAY THEIR SOULS REST IN PEACE!
