After watching Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak's news conference on a big screen in a Beijing conference room, the relatives had many questions and concerns they wanted to discuss with airline officials who watched the briefing with them.
Malaysia Airlines Commercial Director Hugh Dunleavy, said he was "not permitted to respond to any questions", because the situation was starting to looking like a "criminal investigation".
However his response left some of the relatives furious and frustrated, as they accused both the airline and Malaysia's government of hiding the truth from them.
Malaysian Prime Minister Razak said the plane's last signal came about seven and a half hours after takeoff, meaning it could have ended up as far as Kazakhstan or deep in the southern Indian Ocean.
His statement confirmed days of mounting speculation that the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 239 people on board was not accidental, and underlined the massive task for searchers who already been scouring vast areas of ocean.
