GĐXH - After more than 10 years of searching for MH370, the missing plane has not been found and the fate of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members remains the biggest mystery in modern aviation history.

GB News' latest MH370 story stresses that a "successful outcome" of the search for missing MH370 is "within reach" while "active discussions" about a new search are continuing.
GB News reports that Ocean Infinity has submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government to organize a search for the missing 2014 Malaysia Airlines flight.
Flight MH370 disappeared about 38 minutes after leaving Kuala Lumpur airport in southern Malaysia more than a decade ago. A government and private search for MH370 followed, but the plane's wreckage has never been found and the fate of the 227 passengers and 12 crew remains the greatest mystery in modern aviation history.
The official report into the disappearance of MH370 indicates that the plane made an unusual turn in the South China Sea, flew over Malaysia, then flew northwest near Penang Island before crossing the Andaman Sea.
In a statement to GB News, Ocean Infinity - the US-based maritime search company that launched the search for MH370 in 2018 - said the company had strengthened its understanding "of the location of MH370".
Oliver Plunkett, chief executive of Ocean Infinity, told People's Channel: "Since we left the southern Indian Ocean in 2018, our unwavering commitment to finding the missing aircraft and bringing answers to those involved has remained steadfast. In recent years, we have focused on enhancing our ocean search capabilities through advanced technology and robotics, allowing us to undertake some of the most complex and demanding underwater searches."
"In addition to our ongoing efforts, we have submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government and are actively discussing the possibility of resuming the search. By working with a range of experts, some external to Ocean Infinity, and conducting ongoing analysis, we have strengthened our understanding of the location of MH370," he stressed.
"We are optimistic that with this renewed focus, increased resources and active engagement with the Malaysian authorities, a successful outcome may be within reach. We look forward to resuming the search and continuing our efforts to find answers," Ocean Infinity said.
Last month, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed that the government was in talks with Ocean Infinity over a “credible” proposal to search for MH370 in a new area in the southern Indian Ocean.
Ocean Infinity's new proposal, submitted in June 2024, outlined a plan to search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane in a 15,000 square kilometre area off the coast of Western Australia.
The company has proposed a “no find, no fee” deal to resume the search for MH370. Once MH370 is found, the fee is $70 million.
"Based on the latest information and analysis from experts and researchers, Ocean Infinity's search proposal is credible," Minister Loke stressed. According to him, the terms of reopening the search for MH370 are being negotiated and need the approval of the Malaysian cabinet before proceeding.

Dr Usama Kadri at Cardiff University (UK) believes that hydrophone technology could help provide clues about where teams searching for MH370 should focus their efforts.
To find MH370, Dr Kadri focused on data from stations at Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia and Diego Garcia, an island in the Indian Ocean. Both stations are located about 10 minutes from the seventh arc of the Indian Ocean – the previous search area for MH370 – and both were active around the time MH370 is believed to have crashed.
Investigate the explosions
In the search for MH370, Dr. Kadri said, investigating the explosions could be helpful. He pointed out that the Argentine navy dropped grenades from the air at the last known location of the ARA San Juan submarine when it disappeared in 2017 and located the wreckage a year later.
Therefore, experts can conduct similar explosion experiments with MH370 along the seventh arc. "The basic idea is to release the same amount of energy that we believe MH370 produced," he said.
However, explosions – especially controlled explosions – are expensive, require highly specialised equipment and are environmentally damaging, so this research method for the search for MH370 would likely need to be approved by the Malaysian government.
Resume the search
Ocean Infinity, a Texas-based marine robotics company, has announced its intention to resume the search for the missing plane. Ocean Infinity launched an independent search for MH370 in 2017 but to no avail.
"Finding MH370 and bringing some resolution to all that has happened to the plane has been on our minds since we left the southern Indian Ocean in 2018," said Ocean Infinity CEO Oliver Plunkett. "We are working with a range of experts to continue analysing the data in the hope of narrowing down the search area to one that is likely to be successful. We hope to return to the search soon."
Ocean Infinity said it has spent the past few years developing advanced robotic technology to improve its ocean search capabilities. The search company has also submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government to reopen the search for MH370 on a no-find, no-fee basis.
Flight MH370 departed Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. The flight operated normally for the first 40 minutes before suddenly losing contact and disappearing from radar.
After years of intensive searching for MH370 across the Indian Ocean and other areas, searchers have yet to find any significant trace of the plane, except for debris found along the coast of Africa and the western Indian Ocean.
