BLITZER: Certainly been an emotional rollercoaster for the families of the missing passengers on flight 370. Some of those relatives are already getting some financial support, automatic insurance payments of as much as $20,000 a piece already have gone out. The money is intended to help families travel, cover other expenses, while they wait for answers. In Beijing, the answers have been very slow to come. Our Pauline Chou has an update on those clinging to hope.</s>PAULINE CHOU, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For the very first time in two weeks, the Chinese families here in Beijing got a chance to meet face-to-face with the high-level delegation from Malaysia and asked pointed questions about what happened to Malaysia Airlines flight 370. One man got up and asked about one scenario. He said, "Is it possible that a country's military shot down the plane"? While the Malaysian air force official was very careful in the way he answered that, he said, based on the data and the radar, at this point in time, shooting by military is "not highly possible." Those were his words. Another man stood up and asked about the debris off the coast of Australia, and what was happening with that. And he also asked about a possible scenario. He said, "I have learned there are two uninhabited islands in that search area. Are you going to look at that"? Now the official said, of course, we have to confirm first that the debris is from the plane. But if it is confirmed, they will go and check out these islands, if they exist. But the very fact that some of these families are asking these kinds of questions show they still have a sliver of hope that their loved ones are still alive.
