'You are traitors to us... you have let us down. Tell us the truth': Screaming family members of missing MH370 passengers are dragged out of press conference demanding answers as Malaysian officials say Maldives plane sighting 'not true'

Several residents of Kudahuvadhoo, one of the more remote atolls in the Indian Ocean island chain nation, had reported seeing a low-flying aircraft on the morning of March 8, when Flight MH370 disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a daily news conference today that the reports had been investigated by police in the Maldives and were determined to be untrue.

The anger of the Chinese group reflected the fury of other relatives in Beijing who have threatened to go on a hunger strike unless more details about the search for the flight were immediately released.
