An investigation into missing flight MH370 has found no red flags relating to the crew or mechanical issues, according to an interim report released Sunday that shed no new light on the cause of the disappearance.
An international team of investigators probed the captain and co-pilot's personal, psychological, and financial profiles, and also looked into the backgrounds of the 10 cabin crew.
Their lengthy report, released on the first anniversary of the disappearance, mentioned no findings that cast suspicion on them.
“There were no behavioural signs of social isolation, change in habits or interest, self-neglect, drug or alcohol abuse of the Captain, First Officer and the Cabin Crew."
The report said that civilian radar had tracked the plane for a short time after it diverted on March 8 of last year, apparently contradicting earlier Malaysian statements that only its military radar had monitored the plane.
But analysts said the report mostly restated what was already known.
