Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent on the unsuccessful search for MH370, but famous aviator Dick Smith says there is one compelling reason to keep looking.
“There’s a chance that it wasn’t just a murder-suicide, there’s a chance that something went wrong with the aircraft, and we need to find that aircraft to find that out so people who fly now are safe,” he told Sky News documentary MH370 The Untold Story.
“It’s really important we spend the money.”
Mr Smith has suggested everyone who flies pays an extra 10 cents on their airline ticket to fund the search, saying it would be in their own self-interest to expose any safety issues.
Finding answers is still paramount for Australian Danica Weeks-Crinion, who lost her first husband Paul on the flight.
“I need him home and I won’t leave him out there,” she said. “He wasn’t just my husband, he was my best friend, he’s my family. No one takes from my family with no answers … I’ll keep fighting until I know.”
