With the permission of Malaysia’s Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), British satellite firm Inmarsat today released the raw data that may allow family members of passengers on MH370 to seek independent verification that the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean.
The data has long been demanded by the families of the 239 passengers aboard the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft that went missing on March 8.
With it, analysts may be able to examine the theory that the plane ended in the Indian Ocean. No debris has been found there despite a 10-week Australia-led search effort.
"On the 19th of May, the acting Minister of Transport, Hishammuddin Hussein (right), has instructed the DCA to discuss with Inmarsat on the release of the Inmarsat ‘raw data’ for public consumption.
"As a result, the data communication logs from Inmarsat as well as the relevant explanations to enable the reader to understand the data provided are being released," the DCA said in a press statement.
