Relatives of MH370 crash victims mark 10 years since disappearance

Relatives of passengers on a Malaysia Airlines plane that mysteriously vanished 10 years ago pushed for a new search on March 3 as they spoke of enduring grief and the struggle to find closure. Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 aircraft carrying 239 people, disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Despite the largest search in aviation history, the plane has never been found. About 500 relatives and their supporters gathered on March 3 at a shopping centre near the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur for a “remembrance day”, with many visibly overcome with grief. They lit 239 candles, one for each passenger lost on the flight. Some relatives came from China, where almost two-thirds of the passengers of the doomed plane were from. “The last 10 years have been a non-stop emotional roller coaster for me,” Grace Nathan, a 36-year-old Malaysian lawyer whose mother, Ms Anne Daisy, 56, was on the flight, told AFP. Speaking to the crowd, she called on the Malaysian government to conduct a new search. “MH370 is not history,” she said. Madam Liu Shuang Fong, 67, from China’s Hebei province, lost her 28-year-old son Li Yan Lin, who was a passenger on the plane. “I demand justice for my son. Where is the plane?” said Madam Liu, who flew to Malaysia for the event. “The search must go on,” she added.<br/>
