| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Malaysian authorities have not ruled out the possibility of reopening the investigation into the disappearance of flight MH370, which disappeared in March 2014. This is stated in a Reuters article dedicated to the tenth anniversary of the tragedy. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said his country is ready to reopen the investigation if new details emerge in the case. “If there is convincing evidence that the case needs to be reopened, we will certainly be happy to reopen it,” the head of government said. Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that search work could be discussed with specialists from the American company Ocean Infinity. The Australian authorities also promised to assist in resuming the search. As Regnum reported, flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014 and headed to Beijing. Shortly after takeoff, the aircraft disappeared from radar screens. There were 239 people on board the plane - 227 passengers and 12 crew members. It is believed that the aircraft crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, but the exact location could not be determined. Repeated attempts to locate the wreckage of the missing plane, in which China and Australia took part, were unsuccessful and were abandoned in January 2017. All those on board were declared dead as a result of the accident. In March 2020, Malaysian authorities settled the issue of payments to relatives of passengers and crew members of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 that disappeared in 2014. Malaysian Transport Minister Isham Ishak did not specify how much money was being discussed. Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said that the reason for the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 was the suicide of the pilot of flight MH370. He explained that this conclusion was reached in Malaysia. According to him, a few days after the tragedy, senior officials of the Malaysian government already knew the true explanation of what happened. They realized that it was the suicide of the aircraft's captain, Zachariah Ahmad Shah, and not a technical problem with the plane. |

| #1 On the other hand, was a Boeing. Maybe all the parts just fell off at once, rather than one at a time as on the recent models. |
