US-based company revives hope for finding missing flight MH370
A US-based deep sea exploration company has given fresh hope to solving the decade-long MH370 mystery, saying they have capabil༒ity to carry out the most exhaustive search yet for the missing aircraft
March 8 marked the 10-year anniversary of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 which vanished from radar after taking off from K😼uala Lumpur.
There were 239 people on board,꧃🌼 including six Australians.
US-based company Ocean Infinity led a search in 2018 but could not find a trace 🔯of 🌺the aircraft on the floor of the Indian Ocean.
But Tony Romeo, the CEO of Deep Sea Vision, told 60 Minutes on Sunday he believed his company was capꦉable of making the breakthrough.
The company is planning to send one of its u༒nderwater drones, called the Hugin 6000, down to the ocean floor to search for the missing aircraft.
“It flies at 50 metres a♕bove the seafloor and it just goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth,” Romeo told 60 Minutes on Sunday.
“Big eyes, l♈ooking at everything it can see, sucks and stores data, comes back up to the 🐽surface, we pluck a thumb drive into it, pull the data out, and we watch it on a computer exactly what it looked at.”
The company made worldwide headlines earlier this year when Mr. Romeo claimed the company had found Amelia Earhart’s plane on the Pacific Ocean floor.
Mr. Romeo described the com♎pany📖’s technology as being “unbelievable” and just short of being able to read a credit card number on the seafloor.
He said the company’s modified drones could scouꦅr four times the area covered in previous attempts to find MH370.
Asked if he thought he could find MH370, Romeo said: “I think we ꩲcan.
“I feel like we’ve proved our credibility, we’ve proved our competence,” he told 60 💦Minutes.
“We’ve proved o🀅ur ability to take equipment and use novel techniques.”
Deep Sea Visions is preparing🌜 to submit a search proposal to the Malaysian g🌼overnment.
“An🌳d I believe that the Malaysian government wants answers,” Romeo said.
“I refuse to believe that they do not want a huge accident, a huge crash𓆉 like this to go unresolved. It just isn’t fair, it wouldn𒀰’t be fair to the families.”
