Malaysia 'still hopeful' MH370 will be found, 2 years after disappearance

Two years after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished from radar screens, investigators say they still believe the missing airliner will be found. The search operation to find the plane is expected to be completed later this year, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Tuesday. "We remain hopeful that MH370 will be found in the 120,000-square-kilometre area under investigation," Najib said. If it isn't, officials said, Malaysia, Australia and China will meet to determine the next step. The plane disappeared on March 8, 2014, on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard. All of them are presumed dead, but some family members say they're still holding out hope. According to Malaysia Airlines, 118 families have started legal proceedings. Last week a team of experts traveled from Malaysia to Mozambique to examine a piece of debris that may have come from MH370. The piece of debris, which came from the horizontal part of an airliner's tail, was found by an American tourist in Mozambique and turned over to national authorities. Officials haven't said yet whether that plane part matches up. Najib said the lingering questions aren't lost on officials. "We remain committed to doing everything within our means to solving what is an agonizing mystery for the loved ones of those who were lost," he said. "On this most difficult of days, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who will never be forgotten."<br/>
