More than 10 years after one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries, Malaysia has agreed to resume the search for the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

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.

    The best information I could come across at the time was the plane was carrying at least 1 individual who had some sort of ties to technology that would make the CPUs in things like cars much cheaper.

    Basically no find, no fee. And it’s up to OceanInfinity to be able to actually find the wreckage before they lose 70 million down the ocean.

    The other thing that isn’t mentioned is the salvage rights. Local Malaysian newspapers have not even mentioned anything too.
