Malaysia Resumes MH370 Search, Because Losing Planes is a Hobby Now
KEY POINTS
- ā¢Malaysia announced on December 3, 2024, that it would resume the search for the missing MH370 plane.
- ā¢Ocean Infinity, a US-UK marine robotics company that previously searched in 2018, will conduct 55 days of intermittent seabed search.
- ā¢The search targets a high-probability area in the southern Indian Ocean, with a $70 million reward offered if the plane is found.
Malaysia's Transport Ministry announced on December 3, 2024, they'll restart the MH370 search nearly 12 years after the Boeing 777 vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. They've roped in 'marine robotics experts' Ocean Infinity, who famously gave up in 2018 after four years and failing to find 239 missing souls. Now Ocean Infinity gets another 55 intermittent days near the southern Indian Ocean, chasing a 'targeted area with the highest probability,' which in detective lingo means, 'Good luck!' Meanwhile, the government dangled a tantalizing $70 million carrot last Decemberābecause nothing says closure like a cash bonus to a company that already waved goodbye citing weather. Transport Minister Anthony Loke has clearly mastered the art of starting, stopping, and restarting hope like a bad WiFi connection.

Restarting the MH370 search after 12 years is like rebooting a PC to fix a potato. $70 million says Ocean Infinity enjoys long walks on invisible seabeds and disappointing families.
Twelve years, hundreds of lives, and a $70 million bonus later, Ocean Infinity remains the premier hide-and-seek champion in the southern Indian Ocean.
MH370 search schedule: Start. Stop. Wait for weather. Repeat. This ultramarathon of futility deserves its own reality TV show.
