LATEST UPDATE ON THE MISSING MALAYSIAN PLAINE CNN) - A grim-faced Malaysian Prime Minister confirmed the worst fears of the families of those aboard Flight 370, announcing Monday that the missing plane went down in the southern Indian Ocean. New analysis of satellite data by a British satellite company and accident investigators led to that conclusion, Prime Minister Najib Razak said. They have told us all lives are lost, a missing passengers relative briefed by the airline in Beijing said. While the last-minute announcement appeared to end hopes of finding survivors more than two weeks after the flight vanished, it left many key questions unanswered, including what went wrong aboard the Beijing-bound airliner and the location of its wreckage in the deep, wild waters of the Indian Ocean. For families, some of whom had held out hope their relatives somehow were still alive, the news appeared to be devastating. At a briefing for relatives in Beijing, some were overcome and had to be taken from a hotel on stretchers. In Kuala Lumpur, a woman walked out of a briefing for families in tears. My son, my daughter-in-law and granddaughter were all on board. All three family members are gone. I am desperate! a woman said outside the Beijing briefing. Another woman came out of the briefing room screaming, expressing doubts about the Malaysian conclusion. Where is the proof? she said. You havent confirmed the suspected objects to tell us no one survived. Sarah Bajc, the partner of one of three Americans aboard the flight, Philip Wood, canceled all media interviews after the announcement. I need closure to be certain, but cannot keep on with public efforts against all odds, she wrote. I still feel his presence, so perhaps it was his soul all along. It could be recalled that the Malaysian plane with 239 passengers and crew aboard was declared missing on the 8th day of March, 2013 and efforts made to know the fate of the airline and the 239 souls aboard yielded no fruitful result untill this latest announcement.
