Opinion: Ending Search For MH370 Is Wrong

Too Many Unanswered Questions In The Airliner's Disappearance

Three governments have spent about $160 million searching for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished from radar on a flight from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014. On Tuesday, the governments of China, Malaysia an Australia called off the search.

That was the wrong decision, says Forbes contributor John Goglia.

The obvious reason is the families of those lost when the airliner went down. They may never have closure about what might have happened to their loved ones.

But equally as, if not more important is an opportunity to examine the wreckage to determine what went wrong, Goglia says. Was there a mechanical issue with the airplane that might be systemic to the Boeing 777, or other aircraft, given that suppliers often sell components to more than one manufacturer.

There is also the possibility that some act of terrorism brought the airplane down.

Goglia says that while the price of finding the airplane is high, the cost of not knowing what happened to the aircraft could be significantly higher if another airplane meets a similar fate.
