The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines passenger jet MH370 three years ago remains one of the aviation industry’s greatest unsolved mysteries.

Family members of the missing passengers were afraid many questions would remain unanswered when the Malaysian government suspended the search in January. But the next of kin are not giving up hope -- and they announced their intentions last week to initiate an independent search at the memorial themed “Search On”.

Today on Current Affairs, BFM explores the feasibility of a private search to find MH370.
