Grieving relatives of the Chinese nationals on board flight MH370 have been told divert their anger away from the Malaysian government and focus instead on making funeral arrangements.
In a hard-hitting editorial, a Chinese state-run newspaper urged the families to accept evidence that the Malaysian Airlines plane had crashed in the sea with no survivors....
'Public opinion should not blame the Malaysian authorities for deliberately covering up information in the absence of hard evidence.'
Earlier, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott confirmed that all hope is lost for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight by declaring all 'evidence' points to the plane going down in the southern Indian Ocean.
Mr Abbott said ... he would not be putting a time limit on the search effort....
'We owe it to everyone to do whatever we reasonably can and we can keep searching for quite some time to come and we will keep searching for quite some time....
Mr Abbott’s comments come as Australia, Britain and the United Sates are pushing for a leading role in the investigation amid concerns that Malaysia is not capable of conducting the investigation by itself.
Australian officials were in Malaysia over the weekend to urge the Malaysian government to promise that any wreckage recovered during the search would be examined in Australia before being removed to Malaysia.
They are also asking Malaysian authorities to agree that if the missing plane’s flight data recorders are recovered, their contents should be examined and analysed in Australia by Australian, British and US experts.
Such a request may not be received well by Malaysia, which is smarting from criticism about its handling of the disappearance....
Under civil aviation law, Malaysia, as the country in which the lost plane was registered, is granted responsibility for the investigation.

British and U.S. secret services are searching for possible criminal involvement in the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, reports today suggest.
MI6 and the CIA have been helping Malaysian investigators look for reasons behind the Boeing 777 jet's disappearance after it lost all contact more than three weeks ago on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Malaysia's Defence Minister Mr Hishammuddin Hussein said the two agencies were working with Chinese spy agencies to try to find out why the plane suddenly changed course and headed to the west with its 239 mainly Chinese passengers and crew.
Mr Hishammuddin declined to put forward his personal thoughts, keeping instead to the official line that investigators were looking into the possibility of terrorism, hijacking, personal or psychological problems among passengers and crew or technical failure.
They can “demand answers” all they want but if the Airline does not know, then they don’t know.
They should have just said so instead of whatever it is they thought they were doing.
But there is no actual evidence that they are dead.
Not one shred.
The hypothesis that the plane flew into Michelle Obama’s butt is every bit as valid as the they are all dead hypothesis.
One can call it blunt, but it is rather obviously true.
China does not value life like some other countries do.
Honestly, the Chinese government views this as more of a hassle to deal with. They don’t care about the families, etc.
China kills tons of citizens and babies every year for no other reason than.. ‘they can’
So like for 12 of their citizens or however many there were.. yeah I’m surprised they even released a statement.
The sad part about that is that no one alive today wants to look there, so we may never know.

This story is almost done. And in a few days, so will this “list” be done. I don’t think we’ll hear much more and this report from the Chinese pretty much confirms that.

Well let’s turn that around —
Is there any evidence that they are still alive???
“He’s dead, Jim.”
[Leonard McCoy to Captain James T. Kirk]
No it's not.
CNN hasn't finished reporting it yet.
or possibly the group of islands in the upper right just south of West Java.

Well ... I’m bailing in a few days ... :-) ...
(But there is no actual evidence that they are dead.
Not one shred.)
Nor any that they are alive. This is not TV. They did not find a hidden island with a large supply of food and weapons.
Any plane crash into the sea or into land usually involves total death of all crew and passengers. Any crash with survivors would have required rescue within 48-72 hours to save anyone. I think the time of acceptance of a reality has come.
Far from it --
The story will now shift to the pilot with the investigators compiling their list to find out if he had been naughty or nice.
The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveler returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?
Maybe it is blunt, but at this point, it would be cruel to give the families false hope.
. its over johnny . ! .
No, there isn’t.
There is only evidence that their current location is unknown.
It is indeed possible that they are dead. It is indeed possible that their plane flew into Michelle Obama’s butt.
It is indeed possible, though not probable, that they flew through a rip in time and are 15 minutes in the past being menaced by Langoliers, and that they will fly their plane through the same rip and end up 10 minutes in the future, where time will catch up wit them at an airport in Bangor, Maine.
It is indeed possible that they were abducted by aliens.
It is indeed possible that they folded time and space, and instead of traveling from point A to point B, they are now lost in a dimension of Hell.
But what they are, beyond any shadow of a doubt, is lost.
Well, I understand that it is one of the most remote and hostile areas on Planet Earth.
We should send in the special man.
