Complex and frustrating

MH370’s politics and payback

The agony and frustration for the relatives of those who have been lost with the disappearance of MH 370 on March 8 last year is indescribable and this was compounded in July with the events surrounding the discovery and identification of a flaperon from a Boeing 777 on Reunion Island.

Rather than a swift identification of the item linking it to MH370 the relatives and loved ones have had to endure, up to publication date, the torture of two countries disputing the origins of the piece.
