Children sue Malaysia Airlines 8 months after losing dad on missing MH370 plane

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Two Malaysian boys sued Malaysia Airlines and the government on Friday over the loss of their father on Flight 370, the first lawsuit filed in the country by relatives of those aboard the jetliner that mysteriously disappeared eight months ago.

Jee Kinson, 13, and Jee Kinland, 11, accused the civil aviation department of negligence for failing to try and contact the plane within a reasonable time, after it disappeared from radar while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 with 239 people on board.
