New hope in the MH370 mystery as deep sea search expert vows to find wreckage

New hope in the MH370 mystery as deep sea search expert vows to find wreckage

Many other experts have tried and failed but the search goes on

A deep sea exploration expert has vowed to join the search for the missing flight MH370 thanks to 'unbelievable' technology they have at their disposal.

It's been over 10 years since the passenger plane disappeared with 239 people on board, all of whom have been presumed dead since the disappearance.

Since then, the search for the plane has been ongoing, with some parts of the aircraft's wreckage washing up on distant shores, but the main fuselage as yet undiscovered.

Malaysia has backed 'no find, no fee' search efforts for MH370, meaning firms which believe they can contribute to the search are allowed to participate as long as they have no expectation of reward or compensation.

One of the companies which has been searching is Texas-based Ocean Infinity, who recently claimed to have found new evidence in the hunt for MH370.

They had spent six months searching in 2018 without success, but have since said they now think they have the technology to go back, but they might have competition.

That's because fellow deep sea explorer Tony Romeo, CEO of Deep Sea Vision, recently told 60 Minutes he had the devices that had the best chances of finding MH370.

He explained that they have an underwater drone called the Hugin 6000, which they can send to sweep the ocean floor and deliver data.

He said: "It flies at 50 metres above the seafloor and it just goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

"Big eyes, looking 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."

Deep Sea Vision reckons if anything could find MH370 it's the Hugin 6000.

Deep Sea Vision is the same company that earlier this year claimed to have found evidence of the plane that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan flew in when they went missing attempting to fly around the world.

Now, they are getting ready to submit a proposal to the Malaysian government to be able to search for MH370, and Romeo is confident they will accept as he believes the government 'wants answers'.

In lieu of a confirmed course of events, there have been a number of theories about what happened to the plane, with a former Boeing pilot claiming Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah crashed the aircraft on purpose.

Other experts have also claimed that the plane's pilot is the most likely culprit for MH370's disappearance, though authorities have repeatedly denied claims that the pilot crashed the plane on purpose and there has not been evidence to suggest prior poor mental health.
