In a widely expected move, Malaysia Airlines officials declared the disappearance of Flight MH370 as an “accident” and said everyone on board is “dead.”
At the same time, Malaysian authorities revealed the final moments of communication between the plane, which disappeared March 8 with 239 people on board, and ground control officials before communication was lost. The final 54 minutes of communication was sent to the Telegraph.
The messages appear to be mostly routine. The last thing the Flight 370 crew said was “all right, good night” to air traffic control. Before that, the pilots said, “This is MH370, flight altitude 350.”
