Summary
Malaysia announced it will resume the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which disappeared in 2014 with 239 people aboard.
The government accepted a proposal by US exploration firm Ocean Infinity to search a 15,000-square-kilometer area in the southern Indian Ocean.
If significant wreckage is found, Ocean Infinity will receive $70 million. Two prior searches, including one in 2018, yielded no results.
Families of the victims, including over 150 Chinese passengers, continue to seek closure and compensation from involved companies.
While I think finding the plane will be a good thing, I don’t think it’ll bring us much closer to finding out what happened. The pilot likely cut the power to the flight data recorder when he powered the whole thing down as part of his “hijacking” process. Mentour Pilot has a great video on it on YouTube.
