  • Marks talks about the called off search of the missing Malaysian airliner, flight MH370. Despite harnessing the best drone submarines available and searching 120,000 square kilometers of ocean, the fuselage of the Boeing 777 with 239 on board has not turned up. It is a crushing blow to hopes of closure for the families and friends of passengers and crew. But the failure of the search will be no real surprise to anyone who has followed the case. The tragedy began in the early hours of 8 March 2014. The airliner took off from Kuala Lumpur shortly before lam and headed north for Beijing. But after the plane's transponder ceased broadcasting its position and the crew failed to make contact as expected, a massive air and sea search began in the South China Sea.
