On Friday, a few dozen relatives of the passengers met officials at China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing as part of their long journey for answers. They also visited the Malaysian Embassy to present their demands. Even after such a long time, the wound remains raw for many of the families
Friday is the 10th anniversary of the disappearance of flight MH370. The Boeing 777 left Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing with 239 people on board on March 8, 2014, but took a sharp turn south and fell off the radar. It never made it to Beijing
The plane's disappearance drew attention from around the world and has generated countless conspiracy theories. Only debris from the aircraft has been found
The majority of the plane's passengers, 154, were Chinese
Among the families were elderly parents who lost adult children
The families are still holding out hope for answers. Last week, Malaysian officials said they would consider restarting the effort to find the aircraft, after a US company that conducted a previous search proposed another attempt
