Malaysia considers resuming search for MH370 as 10-year anniversary approaches
As the 10th anniversary of the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 approaches, Malaysia is contemplating restarting the search efforts, according to the country’s transport minister. The possibility of renewing the search for the missing aircraft is being discussed as the anniversary date draws near.
Malaysia's transport minister mentioned on Sunday that there may be a possibility of resuming the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, as the 10th anniversary of its disappearance approaches.
Back in March 8, 2014, Flight MH370 disappeared while carrying 239 passengers from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, turning into one of the most baffling mysteries in aviation history. Despite extensive efforts to locate the aircraft, very little has been discovered since then.
Days before the 10th anniversary, Malaysian Transport Minister Anthony Loke promised to do everything in his power to finally solve the mystery of the missing Boeing 777.
Loke acknowledged that while significant measures have been taken to prevent a similar tragedy from happening again, he also recognized that the work is not yet finished.
