AP reported that security was tightened around the Chaoyang District Court in Beijing, China, this morning, November 27, as the court opened a hearing on compensation for relatives of victims who disappeared on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in 2014.

The police thoroughly checked the identities of the reporters and took them to a separate area, preventing them from interviewing relatives of the victims before the trial began.

Details of the hearing are not yet available, but it appears to be based on the assessment that Malaysia Airlines did not take the necessary steps to locate the aircraft after it disappeared from air traffic control screens on the evening of March 8, 2014.

Relatives of the victims anticipate the hearings will last until mid-December.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, a Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers (including over 150 Chinese nationals) and 12 crew members, took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing on the evening of March 8, 2014. The plane lost contact with ground control while flying over the South China Sea, approximately 38 minutes after takeoff.

To this day, it remains one of the most mysterious disappearances in the history of world aviation. Despite the cooperative efforts of many countries, investigators have yet to find answers about the fate of MH370.
