Nearly five months after the Malaysian plane disappeared off the radar completely, endless speculation about the plane's whereabouts are still making headlines. In the latest news about the fateful flight, Malaysia's The Star Online reports that its government authorities have decided to send off a hydrographic search vessel in addition to the Australian and Chinese ships already set to search the zone for a deep-water survey.

The rummage for the missing Malaysian airplane has reportedly been redirected to the southern Indian Ocean where the last communication between the ill-fated flight and a satellite is believed to have taken place; following grueling months of search off the coast of Australia.

Malaysia's KD Mutiara is expected to be part of the deep-water survey mission alongside Australia's contracted specialized survey ship the Fugro Equator, and China's Zhu Kezhen by the beginning of September.

Reports published months ago have stated that MH370 captain Zaharie Shah's wife has reportedly stood forward and affirmed in an interview that her husband did not try to make contact through his cell phone when in fact he could have, while the plane was cruising at a low altitude.

Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 passengers' children have also reiterated that there was a 5-hour gap between the time that the plane had dropped off the radar and the time that Malaysian authorities have started a search. The victims' families also emphasized that there were 2 tons of unidentified cargo on the plane prior to its disappearance which still remains undisclosed by the Malaysian flight authorities to this day.

Although the missing Malaysian plane has not yet been found, Australian authorities, who have taken over the mission to search for the missing Boeing 777, are positive that the mission has taken great steps towards finding the ill-fated plane.
