MH370: US-based Ocean Infinity New Search Request for Malaysia Airlines Missing Flight

1 tydzień temu

PETALING JAYA- A private marine exploration company headquartered in the United States has recently delivered a presentation to Malaysian authorities regarding a fresh search initiative for Malaysia Airlines (MH) Flight MH370, which disappeared without a trace a decade ago following its departure from Kuala Lumpur (KUL).

As the Association for Families of the Passengers and Crew on board MH370 Facebook page outlines, the proposed search operation operates under a “no find, no fee” framework. It was formally presented to the Transport Minister, senior officials from the ministry, and representatives from other governmental agencies.

Earlier, Ocean Infinity, a US-based company, had conducted search operations in the Indian Ocean from 2017 to late 2018.

In March 2024, the Texas-headquartered firm asserted that it had discovered fresh scientific evidence regarding the final whereabouts of MH370.

How does it vanish?

On March 8, 2014, MH370, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members onboard, vanished while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

In the initial 40 minutes of Flight MH370, commanded by senior pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah and first officer Fariq Hamid, everything seemed normal from the ground.

However, just moments after entering Vietnamese airspace, MH370 completely disappeared from radar, and all subsequent attempts to establish contact proved unsuccessful.

Despite an extensive search effort spanning from the Indian Ocean off Australia’s west coast to Central Asia, no trace was discovered of the Boeing 777 or the 227 passengers and 12 crew members who disappeared with it.
