Missing MH370 case to reopen as detectives reveal bombshell announcement on flight mystery
Malaysian authorities have announced that the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is set to resume, more than a decade after the aircraft went down
In a shocking turn of events, Malaysian authorities have announced that the search for the missing flight MH370 will resume, over a decade after the plane disappeared.
The aircraft was carrying 239 people when it vanished. Alien abduction, North Korean involvement and an insurance scam are just some of the bizarre theories put forward since the plane's ill-fated journey captivated the world's imagination.
Now, Transport Minister Anthony Loke revealed plans to explore a new area in the southern Indian Ocean, following discussions with exploration firm Ocean Infinity.
The company stands to gain US$70 million if it uncovers significant wreckage. In a heartfelt statement, Loke emphasised the government's "responsibility and obligation" to those who lost family members when the aircraft vanished from radar on March 8, 2014.
He stated: "Our responsibility and obligation and commitment is to the next of kin. We hope this time will be positive, that the wreckage will be found and give closure to the families," reports the Mirror.
Search efforts to date have been costly. In 2014, Malaysia, Australia, and China teamed up to conduct the initial underwater search spanning 120,000 sq km in the southern Indian Ocean. It cost around £143m before being called off in January 2017.
We reported last month how proposals to resume the search were underway.
Speaking in November, Mr Loke said: “Based on the latest information and analysis from experts and researchers, Ocean Infinity’s search proposal is credible and can be considered by the Malaysian government as the flight’s official registrar. Should it be finalised, cabinet approval will be required, and I will make a public announcement.” Ocean Infinity’s search would be on a “no find, no fee” basis.
Earlier this year amateur investigators were convinced they had cracked the decade-long mystery into the disappearance of flight MH370.
A mathematician from Cardiff University recently gave fresh hope to relatives by publishing his belief that audio signals captured at a hydroacoustic station off the coast of Australia could be key to locating the doomed jet.
Dr Usama Kadri said: "Our analysis shows clear pressure signals from previous aircraft crashes were detected on hydrophones, even at distances exceeding 3,000km. In the case of MH370, official investigations concluded the aircraft must have crashed near the 7th arc – the point at which the last communication between the plane and INMERSAT occurred."
Most theories of what happened to the aircraft include that it went down somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean after being deliberately crashed by captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53.
Richard Godfrey, a retired British aerospace engineer and creator of the site The Search for MH370, is convinced it would only take one more search in the right location to find MH370.
He has combed different data sets that were previously kept in separate domains and believes the plane is located 1,500 kilometres west of Perth, Australia.
