The mystery of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane is much more than an aviation story. It is a human story involving 239 people and their families.

Becky speaks about some of the passengers on board the aircraft, and also spoke to psychologist James Thompson about how the families must be coping during this terrible time.

He identified the key problem, the fear of the unknown throughout this uncertainty: "I think to mourn someone when you don't have their body is hard enough, but here what we have is something worse, which is a long time in which you can build up hope."

See the rest of their interview above.
