Missing Plane Found? Latest News on Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 - High-Tech Vessels Give Hope in Search

The Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared over four months ago and is still no where to be found. Its last location has been pin pointed, but that was long before the play crashed into some unknown part of the Indian Ocean. Since then, many nations have banded together in an attempt to try and scour the reaches and depths of the ocean, but have only come up with nothing.

According to recent reports, a Dutch firm will be conducting a deep underwater search for the missing flight MH370 in the Indian Ocean starting September 2014.

Fugro Survey, the Dutch firm will be using state of the art technology to search a 60,000 square kilometers area in the south of Indian Ocean where the plane had supposedly crashed.

This underwater deep search would help in locating any flight pieces or debris such as flight recorders or any relevant evidence which would help the Malaysian team in their investigation.

The Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on 8th March 2014 with about 239 people on board including flight attendants. Many believe that the missing plane had diverted from its usual Kuala Lumpur- Beijing route and found its way into the Indian Ocean.

Fugro Survey will be using its best vessels, Fugro Discovery and Fugro Equator, in order to find all the missing links to this mystery.

The search mission is still in the mapping stage as the floor of the Indian Ocean is not flat and featureless. It is about half the size of Malaysia and the mapping phase is very essential. The terrain of the ocean floor could pose numerous challenges to this search mission and could also cost about $48 million.
