Family members of passengers aboard Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 faced an agonizing wait for answers, as the aircraft remained unaccounted for more than a day after it was scheduled to land.
In China, home of most of the 239 people on board, relatives of the passengers gathered in a conference room at a hotel complex in the Lido district of Beijing.
They grew increasingly frustrated Sunday as the wait continued. More than 100 people signed a hand-written petition that demanded "truth" from the airline by Sunday evening. They also urged the Chinese government to help them deal with Malaysian authorities.More family members arrived Sunday.
Zhang Guizhi, aunt of passenger Li Yan, told CNN that she had arrived from her native Henan province in central China and remained uncertain about how the airline would help her obtain a passport to travel to wherever the plane is found. She started crying when she mentioned that her 31-year-old niece had traveled to Malaysia with her husband and four friends for vacation.
A man who identified himself as the brother-in-law of passenger Ding Lijun said he had just arrived from Tianjin.
He teared up when he said Ding had been working in Malaysia as a construction worker for a year and was taking his first trip home.
