Perth: The search for flight MH370 was boosted on Wednesday with the arrival of a British nuclear submarine in the Indian Ocean, but Malaysian police warned the cause of the jet’s mysterious disappearance may never be known.
Despite extensive scouring of the remote waters southwest of Perth where Malaysia believes the jet went down, ships and planes have so far found nothing that would indicate a crash site.
Malaysian police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said a three-week-old criminal investigation into what caused the flight to veer far from its intended route between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing had so far been inconclusive. He also said police have taken more than 170 statements so far.
The Hobbit plane joins search
Perth: A private jet owned by Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit director Sir Peter Jackson is involved in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, New Zealand media reported on Wednesday.
The Gulfstream G650 is being used as a communications relay for military aircraft searching for wreckage of the Boeing 777, officials at Australia’s Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre told Radio New Zealand and the New Zealand Herald newspaper.
