Malaysia Plane Mystery May Never Be Solved

A Royal Navy submarine has joined the search for flight MH370 in the Indian Ocean – as Malaysia’s police chief said the cause of the tragedy might never be known.

Khalid Abu Bakar said criminal investigations were continuing to focus on four possibilities: hijacking, sabotage and personal or psychological problems of those on board.

“We have to clear every little thing,” he said.

“At the end of the investigations, we may not even know the real cause. We may not even know the reason for this incident.”

The police chief said more than 170 interviews with family members had been carried out so far.

“We must be very thorough and we need all the time … you cannot hurry us,” said Mr Bakar.

The cargo and the food served on the plane are also being looked at to eliminate possible sabotage, he added.

As the clock counts down on the battery life of the black box’s locator beacon, the search has been bolstered by British submarine HMS Tireless, which has now arrived in the Indian Ocean.

The Trafalgar Class submarine is expected to try to detect the all-important device, which could hold the key to unravelling the mystery.

Royal Navy survey ship HMS Echo is also due to join the international search operation later. Nine planes and nine other ships are also still involved in the hunt 930 miles west of Perth, Western Australia.

A defence source said: “A Royal Navy Trafalgar Class submarine has recently arrived in the area and is conducting search operations for the flight recorders.

“HMS Tireless holds advanced search capabilities, but the task in hand remains a tall order and the search area is immense.”… see more
