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.

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.

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.

While I think finding the plane will be a good thing, I don’t think it’ll bring us much closer to finding out what happened. The pilot likely cut the power to the flight data recorder when he powered the whole thing down as part of his “hijacking” process. Mentour Pilot has a great video on it on YouTube.
