New satellite data analysis has confirmed that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, Malaysia’s prime minister told a news conference on Monday.
Najib Razak said flight data suggested that the Boeing 777’s “last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean west of Perth, [Australia].”
He added: “This is a remote location, far from any possible landing site. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that according to this data the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean.”
The prime minister said that his announcement was based on data analyzed by the U.K. Air Accidents Investigation Branch and satellite firm Inmarsat.
