Malaysia agrees to launch new search for MH370 plane, which vanished a decade ago with 239 people on board

Malaysia announced on Friday it has agreed to launch a new search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which disappeared 10 years ago in one of aviation's greatest enduring mysteries.

The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014 while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Despite the largest search in aviation history, the plane has never been found. Malaysia's prime minister said 17 days after the plane disappeared that, based on the satellite data, his government had concluded that the plane crashed down in a remote corner of the Indian Ocean, and that there were no survivors. Transport Minister Anthony Loke said Malaysia had agreed to a new search operation by maritime exploration firm Ocean Infinity, which also carried out an unsuccessful hunt in 2018.

Seems like a waste of money. The remains are probably spread out over a large expanse of the Indian Ocean. I do not want to appear cold hearted, but the families know they are gone. I doubt we will learn much from any wreckage.

I don’t think it was 6 months later that a Malaysian Airlines flight was shot down over Ukraine. A terrible 1-2 blow for the airline.

We watch Air Disasters on TV, and there seems to be an inordinate amount of Malaysian pilots causing plane crashes, often, it seems, due to arrogance and bullying. Co-pilots and other underlings are berated and ignored. I know nothing of Malaysia; are they caste oriented?

I hope they find it. Those passengers must be getting hungry.

I remember that the (General Electric?) engines continued to transmit performance data that was captured by the manufacturer, which told investigators how long they were in operation to give an idea of the maximum range the plane flew. Problem was, it didn’t/couldn’t transmit GPS information—which would give a great idea of where it impacted. So the search area was gargantuan.

A million years from now one bolt from the remains will turn up embedded in a vein of quartz.

The scientists will scratch their heads and call it a hoax.

Pakistan airline companies are even worse. The EU and the US has banned them for several years now. The all out ban happened after PIA airbus pilots forgot to lower the landing gear. Somehow the plane manage to get airborne again, but the engines failed and it crashed into a residential neighborhood.

They mean "search for a new cover story" since the old one hasn't held up too well. World governments know exactly what happened to MH370 - and whatever it was they think the public can't handle the truth.

Not like India - ethnic Malays are Muslim and Malaysia has a large Chinese minority that drives the economy. I think it's just the general Asian tendency to defer to the boss, even if he does something idiotic.

Hey, if it went through a natural time portal, the bolt may already be in there. :^)
