The family of a woman who disappeared alongside the rest of MH370 has revealed their biggest fear.
Jiang Cuiyun had gone to Malaysia as part of a tour group and was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014 when the flight lost contact 90 minutes into the journey.
For over a decade, it has remained a mystery as to what happened to the flight. Fragments of the plane washed up in the Western Indian Ocean in 2015, however no search has ever found the rest of the flight.
Jiang Cuiyun’s son, Jiang Hui, told ITV News his greatest fear, as a new search has been launched for the flight.
Hui said: "We are very happy the search can re-start, at the same time we fear the plane being found because you know what that means if the plane is found, it would confirm bodies had been found, and that is something that some of us we don’t want to admit, our loss would become a reality."
He added that he dismisses conspiracy theories about the flight, saying he believes it must have been a combination of mechanical malfunction and human error.
Hui said that, shortly after the flight disappeared, he placed every picture he owned of his mother in a box and has not been able to look at them since.
He was afraid that any discovery would confirm once and for all, his mother is dead.
LATEST ON THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MH370
It comes as Australian researcher Sergio Cavaiuolo has developed theories about the final moments of the flight arguing that eyewitnesses may have seen flames coming from the doomed flight.
He believes the aircraft's sudden turn back 40 minutes into the flight indicates a serious technical issue.
Cavaiuolo told GB News: "It's clear that the sudden turn back of the plane 40 minutes into the flight back over Malaysia - many pilots also have said that it's indicative of some issue with the plane.
"In the days following, there were some stories of a gentleman on an oil rig seeing what was almost certainly MH370 with some flames underneath it, at the moment of the turn back in the South China Sea that was reported a bit later on."
The initial search for MH370 was launched in 2014 by Malaysia, Australia and China as a joint operation.
The search covered 120,000 sq km in the southern Indian Ocean but was called off in 2017 without success.
Ocean Infinity conducted another search attempt in 2018, which also proved unsuccessful.
