Malaysian newspapers ran striking black front pages on Tuesday in tribute to the victims of Flight MH370, which crashed in the southern Indian Ocean with 239 people aboard.

Malaysia's biggest English-language daily, The Star, ran a stark wrap-around cover emblazoned with the words "MH370 R.I.P." The names of the victims, rendered in small print, made up the letters of the headline.


The New Straits Times' darkened front page showed an aircraft above the words "Goodnight, MH370" - a reference to the last message from the cockpit, "All right, good night", before the Malaysia Airlines jet lost contact on March 8,2014


Malay- and Chinese-language papers also ran front pages with black backgrounds, while The Sun, an English-language daily, changed its masthead to black.
