we make up oh but we watch as over half of them and the tickets we ought the civil service in. maine want to shape the continent's future. part of the african youngsters as they share their stories their dreams and their challengers. the seventy seven percent. platform of africa charting. her first day in school in the. first clinton lesson and then the doors grand moment around and join the arena tango on her journey. in our interest to document torah entering it and returns home.

every day nearly twelve million passengers board planes and arrive safely john quis mother did not five years ago she flew to malaysia on holiday her return flight from kuala lumpur to beijing vanished with barely a trace. malaysian airlines flight three seventy here's one of the greatest mysteries of aviation history and it's true zhang's life into turmoil now he's on his way to one of them for and he wants answers. from nervous are very nervous every time i've flown since then. but flying to malaysia is worst of all.

in twenty fourteen is young his mother left her apartment to fly to malaysia with a coworker they wanted to get away from the dreary beijing winter for a few days she never returned and he once has young he entered the apartment since . whenever i saw photos of her things that belonged to her i broke down i just couldn't take it. my brother and i packed everything up and brought her here to her apartment if i ever found out what happened to the floor and all come back and i'm back these things are. going to be able to say goodbye. to me that you know that. he suffered depression lost his job and went deep into debt. he's traveled tens of thousands of

kilometers and study piles of reports and documents trying to figure out what could have happened. when in doubt he will quote only gets a lot worse when the anniversary comes around recently i have hardly been able to sleep. but now i'm trying to get by without being under the president's they have all these side effects. but i think with the fortune actually of taking a direct route from kuala lumpur to beijing. through public. you know. the plane started in the direct thing with. at least these are the findings of the official investigation eventually the aircraft would have had to crash into the ocean but the precise location is still

uncertain says a lot of communications show that their craft must have been in the air for another seven alice possibly on autopilot what occurred on board during this time is on. there would be what i want to think about it i can't stand it i get a headache as soon as i started to report for avoid thinking about or concentrate instead on how we might find the wreckage if your daughter. the search for the wreckage was suspended without success john we can't accept that so he decided to head to kuala lumpur for the fifth anniversary of the plane's disappearance there's to be a commemoration ceremony maybe a government representative will be them. the disappearance of flight m h three seventy has produced much speculation and even conspiracy theories. the investigators see three scenarios as plausible one is a hijacking another is

a pilot committing suicide a third is a technical malfunction. john has read everything he can find out about it. so. most people assume that the communication system was turned off manually. but as i see it that can't be true. when the transponder is turned off it sends a signal but according to the official report there wasn't any so i believe there was a technical problem. for you to refer to the. greatest fear is that the truth might never be known now a final report has been released but it's still inconclusive without the wreckage no further findings are likely jen doesn't even know if there's still an agency responsible for matters pertaining to the incident. you're sure. it's unbearable. the investigative commission is inactive anymore.

but the relatives are still searching. for something i just can't accept that. he hopes that he might yet persuade one of the officials to keep up the efforts. jones been in malaysia several times to pressure the authorities that. he feels has been poorly informed and put off. now a new government has taken office. the commemorative ceremony was organized by the survive this. little job that you were not calling it a memorial service. according to chinese or east asian custom you can only speak of remembering after it's been proven that someone's dead. but we haven't found the missing people or the plane we have no proof they're dead. so we don't talk about

a memorial it's. young and the others have prepared t. lights one for each of the two hundred thirty nine people lost. their i'm looking for my mother's name your mother is here. you know and that's it. junk siri young. trees i. think ah. well that's when my mother like green.

pieces of a wing with found washed up on the coast of africa some of the very few pieces of evidence. it's important to the survivors that they observe the anniversary together and in the public eye. they don't want the tragedy to be forgotten or. the shooting on. the whole the ceremony in a shopping center so not only the media and aviation stuff witness it but also any palaces by asked. they were able to mobilize a local motorcycle club to show solidarity with that. young functions as an unofficial spokesman for the chinese survivors two thirds of the

passengers were chinese citizens. to go. here and if i'm the only one who came here from china today i bring greetings from many of the chinese survivors. i believe the search has resumed we stand a good chance of finding the aircraft. the search technology is ten times better now than it was five years ago. is that he receives word that anthony loek malaysia's transport minister has just arrived. he has said yes. if i find it. john consults a fellow campaigner the search for m h three seventy has been the most expensive in aviation history now the family members have contacted an australian company that claims a can cover a larger areas faster and cheaper using autonomous underwater vehicles.

gentex. the opportunity to introduce himself to the transport minister says. the minister speaks chinese that makes things easier. what's your advice i'd like an official answer from an unofficial talk today it's just a matter of making contact and setting up lines of communication that's the most important thing for now. the transport minister seems to understand that. it might be something which the astro finds so if you refuse to think that they are your beliefs or if you can't resist it if you think you can if you did so. if you want to be the start of this it. couldn't get an appointment with the

minister but he doesn't want to leave anything untried after all the new government has made an issue of greater accessibility and transparency he'll just have to try his luck john and his friend are admitted to the outer office. from. the ministers in a meeting they have to wait nearly half an hour to see him. the minister reaffirms the government is prepared to resume the search.

what you do with us and your heart might be much better than i did when i arrived i was afraid it would turn out like it always has been complete waste of time but this time i got specific commitments i'm very happy about that. but neither is young who we nor any of the other survivors know if anything will come of those commitments. even so he feels the trip was worth making he's done what he could. all he wants is to find out how his mother died.
