The official report into missing flight MH370 says the plane may have been "manipulated" off course -- Photo: EPAAzharuddin Abdul Rahman said the official report, released on Monday, highlighted lapses by controllers in relation to emergency procedures. The passenger jet had been missing, the report said, for about 20 minutes before authorities sent an alert. An official search ended in May, although Malaysia's new government has said it might resume the search if more credible evidence emerges. The long-awaited official report into the disappearance of flight MH370 offered no new information on why the passenger aircraft vanished four years ago. Flight MH370 disappeared after it stopped sending communications hours into its flight on 8 March 2014.
