  • The Joint Agency Coordination Center in Australia said the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has officially been suspended.

    Search crews, who finally completed their deep-sea sweep of a 120,000-square kilometre zone of the Indian Ocean, haven't found a single trace of the aircraft.

    The search's suspension marks a bitter blow to the families of the 239 people on board who perished.
