In 1979, family members did not get informed if the plane had gone missing. Only the family members of the crew would get informed if something happen. This meant the family members of the passengers on board the DC-10 found out about the aircraft crashing when it was released to the media. Because of this protocols are now in place so the family members do get informed.
