Mystery Flight MH370 missing

[Zidane98]

Confirmed




OI were carrying out survey work only. Contract is now officially signed however most of the optimal search season has passed. OI will resume full scale search in November, they have 2 summer seasons to find the plane.

Considering Malaysia announced it was going to agree to the search in Dec how on earth did it take 3 months to sign? All during peak search season.

Confirmation that up until March 25 (the day the contract was signed between Malaysia / OI) OI carried out bathymetric surveying only in the search area (mapping of the sea floor, this does not pick up aircraft wreckage as there are no AUVs with cameras employed or sonar used):




This means they only conducted a full search for 3 days until 78-06 headed back to Singapore for other contractual agreements.

In those 3 days 1467 sqkm was searched by AUV / sonar. Also confirmation on the report OI will be back in Nov to resume the search. Weather from April-Nov unsuitable for search operations.

MH370 teleported by US. Where did they take the plane and why? The search in the Indian Ocean will be worthless Zidane98

Search for long-missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 to resume​

The search for the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will resume on 30 December, over a decade after the aircraft with 239 people on board vanished, Malaysian authorities have said.

This fresh search, which will run for 55 days, had begun in March but was suspended shortly after because of poor weather conditions.

"The latest development underscores the [Malaysia's] commitment to providing closure to the families affected by this tragedy," the transport ministry said Wednesday, according to local media.

Flight MH370, a Boeing 777, disappeared in 2014 while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and sparked the largest search in aviation history

Exploration firm Ocean Infinity is leading the current search under a "no find, no fee" arrangement. It will receive $70m (£56m) if the wreckage is found, Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook earlier said.

Previous attempts include a multinational search involving 60 ships and 50 aircraft from 26 countries, which ended in 2017, and a 2018 effort by Ocean Infinity ended after three months.

Flight MH370 lost contact with air traffic control less than an hour after take-off on 8 March 2014, and radar showed it had deviated from its original flight path.

It remains one of the greatest aviation mysteries, which continues to haunt the families of those on board. Over the years, many had called for a new search, noting their struggle to find closure.

The incident has also given rise to a host of conspiracy theories, including speculation that the pilot had deliberately brought the plane down or that it had been hijacked.

An investigation in 2018 found that the plane's controls were likely deliberately manipulated to take it off course, but drew no conclusions behind it.

Investigators said at the time that "the answer can only be conclusive if the wreckage is found".

The resumed search will be in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed upon between the government and Ocean Infinity for restarting the MH370 wreckage search, the ministry said.

Malaysia will pay the firm US$70 million if substantive wreckage is found during the search on the seabed of an area in the southern Indian Ocean covering 15,000 sq km

The search will be carried out in targeted areas "assessed to have the highest probability" of being where the aircraft is located, the ministry added.

No precise location of the search area has been given.

I have a feeling it will be found this time.

I have a feeling it will be found this time.

A lot of Malaysians are hoping you are correct. It's been a big ordeal for many.

I remember when it disappeared I was going to stay up until the plane was found.

BEIJING - A Beijing court has ordered Malaysia Airlines to pay some families of missing passengers on board flight MH370 over 2.9 million yuan ($410,240) per case in compensation, state broadcaster CCTV said on Monday.

The rulings are for eight cases involving eight passengers, according to CCTV.

Another 47 cases have been settled and withdrawn, and the remaining 23 cases are still under trial, the broadcaster said.

Malaysia Airlines did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
