story we are trying always to understand this new culture. another visit or not and yet you want to become citizens. in full migrants your platform for reliable information. 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 about her return flight from kuala lumpur to beijing vanished with barely a trace. malaysian airlines flight three seventy is one of the greatest mysteries of aviation history and it's true zhang's life into turmoil now he's on his way to
9:17 pm
kuala lumpur and he wants answers. well i'm nervous i've been nervous every time i've flown since then. but flying to malaysia's worst of all. in twenty fourteen 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 thought it was over things that belonged to him
9:18 pm
i broke down i just couldn't take it. my brother and i packed everything up and brought her here to her apartment and if i ever found out what happened to the fire i'll come back and i'm back these things. then i'll be able to say goodbye . but you know that. is young who has 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 you're out of a quote out or gets a lot worse when the anniversary comes around recently i've hardly been able to sleep but now i'm trying to get by without the energy presidents they have all these side effects.
9:19 pm
but i think with the fletcher now actually have taken a direct ground from kuala lumpur to beijing. or somewhere. you know what you feel. the plane started in the direction of beijing china. parked right there in between malaysia and vietnam and abruptly left. and flew back across the malaysian peninsula and out over the hundred c. then it turned again including even further south. 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.
9:20 pm
there with what i want to think about it i can't stand it i get a headache as soon as i started to report which is more avoid thinking about or to concentrate instead on how we might find the wreckage if your daughter thought that this 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. jen has read everything he can find out about it.
9:21 pm
since. 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 or it sends a signal but according to the official report there wasn't any so i believe there was a technical problem. for you if. jones 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 a likely. jen doesn't even know if there's still an agency responsible for matters pertaining to the incident. or. shorter it's unbearable. the investigative commission is inactive anymore. but the relatives are still searching. for something i just can't accept that.
9:22 pm
he hopes that he might 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 civil of us. leader of a job that we're not calling it a memorial service. according to chinese are you stating 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 to
9:23 pm
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. now and that's it. junge siri young. trees i. think of. moments but to 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
9:24 pm
and in the public eye. they don't want the tragedy to be forgotten i. think. they hold the ceremony in a shopping center so not only the media and aviation stuff witness it but also any passes by us. 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 with chinese citizens. even if i'm the only one who came here from china today i bring greetings from many
9:25 pm
of the chinese survivors. i believe if the search is 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 he receives word that anthony loek malaysia's new transport minister has just arrived. he has. this is b.s. how did it find it that. 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.
9:26 pm
the minister speaks chinese that makes things easier. what's your take on like an official answer from him in an official talk today it's just a matter of making contact and setting up lines of communication and that's the most important thing for now. the transport minister seems to understand that. it might be something which the last twelve months so you refuse to look at the view of the future if it can't be sustained if you think you can. fix itself so that if you stop this if. john 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.
9:27 pm
and john and his friend are admitted to the outer office. 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. he promises to have the final report with all its many technical details translated into chinese.
9:28 pm
what you know what services your hardware might be much better than i did when i arrived i was afraid it would turn out like it always ends for a complete waste of time but this time i got specific commitments i'm very happy about that. but neither is young who he 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 his mother has.
