Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Update: Armed Forces of the Philippines Contradicts Alleged Wreckage Discovery; Expert Says Ongoing Conspiracy Theories Bring More Pain

By

After initial investigation, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) contradicted the claims of discovery of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in a remote part of Tawi-tawi Province. This another false lead bring more pain to the families of the victims, says Disaster Mental Health expert.

Captain Giovanni Bacordo, Commander of Naval Task Force 61 said via Philippine Daily Inquirer, said that they deployed a gunboat and searched and interviewed the people along the 3.5 mile-long island in Tawi-tawi where the supposed wreckage was found.

The report also quoted the Naval Task Force Commander saying "Even the populace residing in the island for the longest time have no knowledge of this."

Although surprised by the information, the AFP said that they should give deliberate efforts to look into the claims that come up recently.

The Malay Mail recounted that over the weekend, a 46-year-old technician Jamil Omar filed a police report in Sandakan, claiming that a relative from Sugbay Island in the Tawi-tawi Province had discovered an aircraft wreckage.

Omar said that his relatives, while bird hunting, saw the wreckage of the plane in the jungle along with human skeletons, one being fastened to the pilot's chair.

Meanwhile, some of the victims' families would not want to comment on the latest development saying it was "another wild goose chase" and just as not useful as all the other theories and false leads that have add to assumptions about what really occurred, Stuff writer Katie Kenny reported.

The site also cited an interview with Sarb Johal, Associate Professor in Disaster Mental Health at the Joint Center for Disaster Research, Massey University/GNS Science saying ongoing conspiracy theories surrounding missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 bring only more pain to those left behind.

Johal said "The uncertainties in the case meant all involved suffer unresolved grief. It was unlikely the mystery would ever come to a satisfactory resolution for those left behind."

The Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 carrying 239 passengers from Kuala Lumpur going to Beijing had mysteriously disappeared on March 8, 2014.
