Malaysia’s safety investigation team said the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have been caused by “unlawful interference” and rescue operations could have started sooner had traffic control in Malaysia and Vietnam followed protocol.
The publication of the safety report comes four years after MH370, with 239 passengers and crew on board, went missing on March 8 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Limited information and the lack of wreckage mean the real cause of the incident remains unknown, leaving one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries unsolved and stirring the frustration of passengers’ families.
