Malaysian authories are assuming beyond a reasonable doubt that the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has been lost in the Southern Indian Ocean, according to South China Morning Post reporter Danny Lee.

 

NBC News reports that Malaysia Airlines sent a text message to the relatives of the 239 passengers who were on board the plane saying “we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board have survived. … We must now accept all evidence that  suggest the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean.”

Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak will announce the new developments at a press conference on Monday.

The U.S. Navy is now flying a black box detector to the area in hopes of recovering the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder. A U.S. Navy plane flying over the possible debris field detected two or three faint radar hits, according to NBC News reporter Bill Neely.

Families of the MH370 passengers are taking charter flights to Australia tonight, according to Sky News.

Both Chinese and Australian aircraft have spotted possible debris in the Indian Ocean. The Boeing 777 plane went missing on March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There were 239 people on board.

Military radar shows that the plane reportedly changed altitutde and dropped to about 12,000 feet after making a sharp turn off its planned flight path, CNN reports.

This could point to the pilots trying to save the plane after something catastrophic happened – dropping to a low altitude is a procedure pilots use when the plane loses pressure. Getting down to a low altitude can save passengers on board because there’s enough air in the atmosphere to keep everyone alive.
