MH370 crash: Inmarsat used 19th century physics to trace missing plane

The new findings led Prime Minister Najib Razak to conclude on Monday that the Boeing 777, which disappeared more than two weeks ago, crashed thousands of miles away in the southern Indian Ocean, killing all 239 people on board.
