Deep-sea explorers believe they may be able to locate the wreckage of missing MH370 flight, over 10 years after the aircraft vanished.

In the early hours of 8 March, 2014, the Malaysian Airlines flight departed from Kuala Lumpur on a journey north to Beijing, China.

However, MH370 would later vanish from the flight radar after takeoff, leading to one of the biggest mysteries in modern aviation history.

The plane's last known location was in the Andaman Sea region after being picked up on a military radar.

Exactly what happened next isn't known, however, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) would later conclude that MH370 most likely crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean, around 2,500km west of the Australian city of Perth, with all 239 passengers perishing in the accident.

Extensive searches of possible crash locations, yielded aircraft debris, while an absence of an official explanation for the plane's crash has led to a number of theories doing the rounds online.

However, one US deep-sea explorer believes he will be able to solve the mystery.

Tony Romeo, Deep Sea Vision CEO, made headlines in January this year, claiming that he'd been able to locate the remains of Amelia Earhart's plane after it vanished in 1937.

Now he's claiming he could do the same thing to find the missing MH370.

Speaking in an interview with Australian TV show 60 minutes back in March, former Air Force intelligence officer Romeo said he believed Deep Sea Vision would be capable of making a breakthrough in the case.

Explaining that he would do this by sending one of these underwater Hugin 6000 drones to the ocean-floor, Romeo said: "I think we can [find flight MH370]. I feel like we've proved our credibility, we've proved our competence. We've proved our ability to take equipment and use novel techniques.

Romero's company has since been said to be preparing a proposal to submit to the Malaysian government for their search.

"I believe that the Malaysian government wants answers," he continued.

"I refuse to believe that they do not want a huge accident, a huge crash like this to go unresolved. It just isn't fair, it wouldn't be fair to the families."

Going on to explain how the drone would work at the bottom of the ocean, Romero added: "It [the drone] 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."
