In this Aug. 7, 2015 photo, a relative of a passenger aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that went missing on March 8, 2014, is carried away by policemen as she and other family members kneel down and cry in front of the media during a protest near the Malaysian embassy in Beijing. Malaysia was intensely criticized early in the Flight 370 mystery for failing to quickly to disclose that its military radar had picked up an unidentified aircraft the night the Boeing 777 disappeared. Now its reticence has given way to what looks like haste compared to other countries involved, at least, and that has left relatives of the missing as exasperated as ever. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)

Chinese relatives of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 passengers marched to the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing hoping to talk to an official about why Malaysia confirmed that a wing part found on an Indian Ocean island came from the missing plane when French investigators had not. They scuffled briefly with police, who blocked the relatives from approaching the embassy. Malaysia's perceived haste to announce that the part was from the plane has left relatives as exasperated as ever.
