Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 search reopens

{{ The Malaysian government says it has agreed in principle to resume the search for a passenger jet that vanished 10 years ago in one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014 while on its way to Beijing, China, from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia with 239 people on board.

Efforts to locate the wreckage of the Boeing 777 have sputtered over the years and hundreds of families of those on board remain haunted by the tragedy.

On Friday, Malaysia’s transport minister Anthony Loke said the cabinet approved in principle a $70m (£56m) deal with US-based marine exploration firm Ocean Infinity to find the aircraft.

Under a “no find, no fee” arrangement, Ocean Infinity will get paid only when the wreckage is found.

A 2018 search for the MH370 wreckage by Ocean Infinity under similar terms ended unsuccessfully after three months. }}

Would Boeing be better off if it wasn’t found?

The media must be getting hard up for something to chatter about. A week or two back, the “news” was rehashing the Jon Benet Ramsey case, yet again.

People like mystery stories. It took 20 years to find out who shot Tupac. {{ LOL }}

Maybe the pilots of MH370 went looking for Emilia Earhart.

By the way, I would recommend this album by Laurie Anderson
