"More than a decade ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished without a trace, sparking one of aviation's most baffling mysteries.Despite years of multinational searches, investigators still do not know exactly what happened to the plane or its 239 passengers and crew.On Wednesday, Malaysia's government said American marine robotics company Ocean Infinity would resume a seabed hunt for the missing plane on Dec. 30, reigniting hopes that the plane might finally be found."
"The Boeing 777 disappeared from air-traffic radar 39 minutes after departing Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8, 2014.The pilot's last radio call to Kuala Lumpur - "Good night, Malaysian Three Seven Zero"- was the final communication before the plane crossed into Vietnamese airspace and failed to check in with controllers there.Minutes later, the plane's transponder, which broadcasts its location, shut down. Military radar showed the jet turn back over the Andaman Sea, and satellite data suggested it continued flying"
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014, after departing Kuala Lumpur for Beijing with 239 people aboard. The pilot's last radio call was “Good night, Malaysian Three Seven Zero.” The plane's transponder stopped transmitting minutes later, military radar tracked a turn back over the Andaman Sea, and satellite data suggest the jet kept flying for hours before a probable crash in a remote southern Indian Ocean area. Theories include hijacking, depressurization, or power failure, and no distress call or conclusive technical evidence has been recovered. A few small fragments washed ashore, but no bodies or major wreckage were found. Ocean Infinity will resume a seabed search starting Dec. 30.
