If the wreckage of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 is found by investigators, it will be left on the ocean floor, investigators have said.

No trace of the missing flight has been found so far in the southern Indian Ocean but, it seems, that only those parts that would be required for the probe, such as the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder, will be retrieved from the ocean floor, reports News.com.au.

An Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman said that the plans for recovery activities, in the case the aircraft was found, was agreed to by Ministers from Malaysia, Australia and China at a meeting last month, and the rescue team did not find it necessary to recover the entire aircraft.
