According to the latest MH370 news from the Daily Free Press, resuming the search for MH370 will help solve a mystery that has been ignored for too long.
This news site said that, towards the search for MH370, all attention is now on Ocean Infinity - a US-based ocean robot company - which participated in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane in 2018.
Ocean Infinity has agreed with the Malaysian government on a plan to resume the underwater search for MH370. If approved, the new search would begin in November 2024.
The Daily Free Press emphasized that this November, the whole world will be watching the new mission, if it takes place, to solve one of the biggest mysteries that has haunted the aviation industry for the past 10 years.
If successful, the new search for MH370 could bring much-needed closure to the relatives of the passengers on the ill-fated flight.
MH370 - Malaysia Airlines flight - went missing on March 8, 2014 while departing from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
To this day, the Boeing 777 and all of its passengers and crew have not been found. Only a few pieces of MH370 debris have been discovered in the 10 years since the plane disappeared.
Now, a team of researchers has developed a new method to locate MH370, which involves dropping plane debris into the Indian Ocean, according to Interesting Engineering.
The project, called the "MH370 Search Initiative," was initiated with the specific goal of locating the wreckage of the Boeing 777 that went missing in March 2014.
To accomplish this goal, the project does not use sonar-equipped drones or conduct deep-sea searches like Ocean Infinity does.
Instead, the MH370 search team plans to drop debris from the Boeing 777 into the Indian Ocean and track its movements.
Jeff Wise, a science journalist and private pilot, initiated the project. He has written books about the disappearance of MH370, hosts podcasts, and has appeared in several documentaries discussing the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines plane.
The first pieces of debris from MH370 were discovered on the shore of Saint-Denis, Reunion Island, in July 2015. In recent years, scientists have focused on studying the drift of these pieces of debris in order to trace their origin in the Indian Ocean. Previously, research teams dropped parts of the plane's wing into the sea for observation.
MH370 search expert Wise and his team believe that these experiments need to be conducted more widely. He aims to drop a sensor-equipped flaperon from a Boeing 777 into the Indian Ocean. The “MH370 Search Initiative” team will then spend 18 months analyzing the debris’ movements and tracking the growth of marine life on it to compare it to MH370 debris that has washed ashore.
