MH370 Search Resumes: Skepticism, Hope, and the Challenges Ahead
The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is scheduled to resume on December 30th, over a decade after the plane vanished with 239 people on board. Ocean Infinity, a marine robotics company, will conduct the renewed search, covering a new 5,800-sq-mile site in the Indian Ocean under a “no find, no fee” contract with Malaysia. The flight disappeared in 2014, sparking an extensive underwater search that yielded no wreckage, though debris has been found along the coasts of Africa and surrounding islands. The Malaysian transport ministry has designated the search area as one with the highest probability of finding the aircraft, offering hope for closure to the victims’ families.
