Perth wants loved ones to be 'comfortable'

Bradley Woods is in a reflective mood. The CEO of the Australian Hotels Association (Western Australia) has just been told to find rooms for between 600 to 1,200 people - relatives of those killed on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

"That is just an estimate we have been given," Woods said.

"We'll not know for sure until wreckage has been formally identified, I guess, as to the actual numbers coming. But we have been asked to be ready just the same."
