Author claims MH370 will never be found

An author has claimed that the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will never be found.

Nigel Cawthorne, author of Flight MH370: The Mystery, said that there was no sensible theory as to where the plane was.

He said that the most likely theory was that the plane's wreckage was somewhere in the Southern Indian Ocean and even if it was there it would never be found, Daily Express reported.

The Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers and crew went missing on 8 March while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

The hunt for the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has yielded no result despite constant efforts by search teams who have scoured over 7,000 square kilometers of the seafloor to find any trace of the debris, search authorities said.

China Daily reported Judith Zielke, chief coordinator of Australia's Flight 370 recovery efforts, as saying that families of those onboard would be updated with the latest search information on a regular basis.

Zielke earlier said in an interview that the underwater effort was slow and painstaking, moving at about 3.2 kilometres an hour and sometimes sidelined by harsh weather.
