Daily News… MALAYSIA SAYS MISSING JET CRASHED AT SEA Malaysia said Monday its missing airliner had crashed in the Indian Ocean, extinguishing the hopes of relatives of those on board but shedding no light on why it veered so far off course. A sombre Prime Minister Najib Razak said a new analysis of satellite data on Malaysia Airlines flight MH370’s path placed its last position in remote waters off Australia’s west coast, «far from any possible landing sites.» «It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean,» Najib said. The plane went missing on March 8 with 239 people aboard -- two thirds of them Chinese -- en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The announcement touched off deep despair among relatives in both cities. «What can I say? I had the belief that my son would return home safely. But what can be done?» said Subramaniam Gurusamy, whose 34-year-old son Puspanathan Gurusamy was on board. «This is fate. We must accept it,» he said, his voice choking with emotion. In Beijing, family members who have gathered in a hotel throughout the crisis, repeatedly raging at the airline over the agonising 17-day wait for information, were crushed when the carrier finally broke the news at a meeting in the hotel’s ballroom. Some burst out, sobbing uncontrollably, held by fellow family members while others collapsed and were taken away on stretchers. Others quietly wiped away tears. «For them, the past few weeks have been heartbreaking; I know this news must be harder still,» Najib said in Kuala Lumpur. The premier said Monday’s conclusions were reached based on new analysis of satellite data by Britain’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), and the satellite telecommunications firm Inmarsat. He gave no specifics such as precisely where the plane may have been lost.

International News… CLINTON LAPTOP UP FOR AUCTION A more than 15-year old laptop doesn’t go for much on eBay -- unless it’s the one Bill Clinton used to send the first ever US presidential email. The still-functional laptop -- with Clinton’s cheerful exchange with Space Shuttle astronaut John Glenn in November 1998 still on the hard drive -- is the featured item in an online sale by Massachusettsbased RR Auction. «I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes for $100,000 or more. Just the content of it is awesome,» Bobby Livingston, a spokesman for the auction house that specializes in rare and unusual collectibles.
STORKS’ LOVE STORY Two lovebird storks celebrated their 12th anniversary as the male made his annual journey of thousands of miles to join his handicapped female in Croatia. Ever-faithful Klepetan flew some 13,500 kilometres (8,370 miles) from his winter home in South Africa to join Malena, who cannot fly because she has a broken wing. «He woke me up .... This year he came 12 hours earlier than usual,» Stjepan Vokic, who takes care of Malena, told. The retired primary school caretaker, who lives in the village of Brodski Varos in eastern Croatia, adopted the female stork 20 years ago after hunters broke her wing.
