UPDATE [10:52pm]: The search for MH370 will continue into the night, say authorities. The Transport Ministry and the Department of Civil Aviation said the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) are “committed” to continue plying the inky waters between Malaysia and Vietnam until rescue efforts are officially called off.
“This is our commitment. We will go on around the clock,” said RMAF director-general of operations and exercise Major General Datuk Affendi Buang at a press conference at the Sama-Sama Hotel here.
It has been over 20 hours since the plane last communicated with the Subang Air Traffic Control, and many continue to speculate the plane has crashed in the Gulf of Thailand, some 250km south of Vietnam.
The last coordinates where the aircraft was last heard from at 1.30am this morning puts it somewhere 120 nautical miles off Kota Baru.
