The Spin

Narrative A

Resuming the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 a decade after the aircraft went missing is a wasteful expense, which offers only diminishing returns following previous searches. It would be better if the government reallocated the resources invested in this endeavor toward enhancing safety features to prevent such a tragedy from ever occurring again.

Narrative B

The Malaysian government's resumption of the search for MH370 is by no means frivolous, but rather in keeping with its commitment to provide closure for those families affected by the aircraft's disappearance. For this reason, the government has once again partnered with Ocean Infinity to ascertain the truth of what happened that fateful day.
