| Boilerpipe Text | BEIJING â The search for the wreckage of
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
was set to resume Tuesday, more than a decade after the plane went missing with 239 people on board in
one of the worldâs greatest aviation mysteries
.
The U.S. marine robotics company
Ocean Infinity
will conduct seabed search operations intermittently for 55 days as part of its agreement with the Malaysian government, the countryâs Ministry of Transport
said in a statement
this month.
The company will use underwater vehicles, deep sea drones and advanced scanning technology across a 6,000-square-mile swath of the
Indian Ocean seabed
.
It is unclear whether Ocean Infinity has new evidence of the location of the plane, a Boeing 777 that
vanished from air traffic radar
on March 8, 2014, less than an hour after departing for
Beijing
from the Malaysian capital,
Kuala Lumpur
, carrying 239 passengers and crew.
Two-thirds of the missing passengers were Chinese, with Malaysians and Americans among the other nationalities on board.
In a statement to NBC News on Monday, Ocean Infinity confirmed that it would be conducting a new search for the missing aircraft, but declined to provide further details because of the âimportant and sensitive natureâ of the operation.
Calls to the Malaysian Ministry of Transport went unanswered on Tuesday.
The resumption of the search, which was called off in April after 22 days because of bad weather, has revived the hope for answers among families still seeking closure.
There was no distress call, ransom demand or sign of a technical problem or bad weather. Minutes after the pilotâs last transmission to Kuala Lumpur, the planeâs location-tracking transponder stopped broadcasting.
The mystery set off the largest underwater search in history, along with multiple conspiracy theories.
Over the years, only a few dozen pieces of suspected debris have washed up on Indian Ocean islands and the African coast. No human remains or large portions of wreckage have been found, though every person on board is presumed dead.
In 2014, the governments of Australia, Malaysia and China conducted
the largest and most expensive underwater search
in aviation history, mapping a 46,000-square-mile area in the southern Indian Ocean floor that is roughly the size of
the state of Ohio
. The operation
ended in 2017
without finding much.
In 2018, Ocean Infinity
took over the search
for three months, saying it would be paid only if it found the wreckage in an arrangement that also applies to the current search.
Meanwhile, dozens of lawsuits against Malaysia Airlines have dragged on for years, with a Beijing court ordering compensation for eight Chinese families this month.
Jiang Hui, a 51-year-old Beijing resident whose mother, Jiang Cuiyun, was on the missing plane, said he âfully welcomesâ Ocean Infinityâs latest search in partnership with the Malaysian authorities.
Jiang said he believes the missing plane wonât remain a âhistorical mysteryâ for long.
âWithin five to 10 years at most, the plane will definitely be found,â he told NBC News in a sit-down interview this month.
âI hope the U.S. government can also make its efforts since there were Americans on the plane,â he said. âAs the Chinese saying goes, alive or dead, we must see them with our own eyes.â
Charitha Pattiaratchi, a professor of coastal oceanography at the University of Western Australia, said that with the latest technology, he is âoptimisticâ that the wreckage will be found, though searchers donât have an âexact location to targetâ yet.
âThere is always hope,â he told NBC News in an email Tuesday. âLook at the example of
the Titanic
â we knew where it sunk but took 100 years to locate the wreck.â
