MH370 – The answer is NOT YET.
Malaysia may renew the plane search now. Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that they may renew the hunt for MH370 after a US company tried to find the plane in 2018 and proposed a fresh search in the southern Indian Ocean where the Malaysia Airlines plane is believed to have crashed a decade ago. He also said that he would invite Texas-based marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity to brief him on its latest “no find, no fee” proposal.
The Malaysian transport minister said that the US seabed exploration firm Ocean Infinity had been invited to discuss its latest search proposal after two previous failed attempts. “The Malaysian government is committed to the search (for MH370) and the search must go on,” Loke said at a remembrance event.
What really happened on March 8, 2014?
On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) vanished from the radar with 239 people on board while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The disappearance of the Boeing 777-200ER is one of the world’s biggest aviation mysteries, as no conclusive evidence of its fate has been found despite extensive searches and investigations. Here are some of the key aspects of the MH370 mystery.
Family members of passengers who were on board from China look at the messages board during the 10th annual remembrance event of the disappearance of MH370 plane at a shopping mall, in Subang Jaya, on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Plane wreckage believed to be from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is displayed during an event held by relatives of the passengers and supporters to mark the 10th year since the Boeing 777 aircraft carrying 239 people disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014 while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, in Subang Jaya on March 3, 2024.
The flight MH370 has been into news since a decade now, many searches have been made, many failed. Only found thing was debris, and plane equipment in damaged conditions.
With the loss of all 239 lives aboard, Flight 370 is the second-deadliest incident involving a Boeing 777 and the second-deadliest incident of Malaysia Airlines’ history, second to Flight 17 in both categories. Malaysia Airlines was struggling financially, a problem that was exacerbated by a decrease of ticket sales after the disappearance of Flight 370 and the downing of Flight 17; the airline was renationalised by the end of 2014.
The Malaysian government earlier received significant criticism, especially from China, for failing to disclose information promptly during the early weeks of the search. Flight 370’s disappearance brought to public attention the limits of aircraft tracking and flight recorders, including the limited battery life of underwater locator beacons.
As the aftermath of MH370’s disappearance, a massive search ensued that continued for four years and cost millions of dollars. Even after official recovery efforts ended, amateur sleuths continued trying to locate the ill-fated plane, which disappeared from radar less than 40 minutes into the flight.
But is the mystery of what happened to flight MH370 any closer to being solved, ten years on? Or at least the mystery of where the plane’s wreckage might be located? Some of the searchers who have been trying to solve this case for the past decade say: yes.
Richard Godfrey, a retired British aerospace engineer and creator of the site The Search for MH370, who’s dedicated much of the past 10 years to that question, is convinced it would only take one more search in the right location to find MH370.
Separately, Vincent Lyne, a former researcher from the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) at the University of Tasmania, who’s published numerous papers on the topic is also certain that the location of the plane is not a mystery.
“The precise location of MH370 is in a very deep 6000-metre hole about 1500 kilometres west of Perth and along the longitude of Penang,” says Lyne. “That location reconciles all evidence.”
But how did Godfrey and Lyne grow so sure about the plane’s exact location when years of official searches have turned up nothing?
