Why technology was unsuccessful in finding MH370 which disappeared in 2014, New mission to find MH370 is planned to be launched

Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur was bound for Beijing in March 2014 when it disappeared, with 239 people on board. Even after the largest and most expensive search in aviation history, to date, neither any confirmed debris from the aircraft nor any survivors have been found. A four-year deep sea hunt in the southern Indian Ocean off western Australia  costing $200million was conducted but the full aircraft has never been found. The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 ended in January after a deep-sea sonar scan of 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) of ocean floor southwest of Australia failed to find any trace of the Boeing 777 . But research has continued in an effort to refine a possible new search.

So far there have been 32 pieces of the plane found and one of the last discovered pieces was found to be from the internal fin of the vortex generator. If it is from the fin it could determine that the engine of the aircraft shattered on impact, which means it was not in a controlled glide when it went down. This supports the theory the plane crashed violently, but testing of the final two pieces found was delayed for two years and have not yet been made public.

A new mission to find the missing wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 could be launched in a matter of months, according to reports. Families of victims and the Malaysian government are currently looking to send seabed searchers, Ocean Infinity, on a new quest to find the missing flight. Officials are hoping new debris and analysis will provide investigators with a clearer priority search, News Corp reported. Former Australian investigators are welcoming the renewed search after they felt they were rushed into looking for the plane in the wrong area.

‘The Transport Minister is open to review a proposal. We are trying to make sure that the proposal is something that is airtight and doesn’t get rejected for some vague reason so we have been working quietly with parties involved to try and bring that to fruition.’ She hopes data from the military radar that was tracking the plane was no longer seen as national security so they can investigate the findings. Ocean Infinity CEO Oliver Plunkett said the Malaysian Government is only committing to the search on a ‘no find no fee’ basis.
