As of March 2, 2025, the main wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished in March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard, has not been located. However, a renewed search effort led by the British firm Ocean Infinity commenced recently, focusing on areas approximately 1,500 kilometers west of Perth, Australia. This mission operates on a “no find, no fee” basis, with a $70 million reward contingent upon locating the wreckage.
Despite these ongoing efforts, no new images or confirmed discoveries of MH370’s wreckage at the bottom of the sea have emerged. Previous searches yielded debris identified as parts of the aircraft, such as a flaperon found on Réunion Island in 2015 and other pieces along African coastlines.
Nonetheless, the primary wreckage remains undiscovered.
Experts express cautious optimism about the current search. Some, like Australian researcher Mick Gilbert and former Qantas pilot Mike Glynn, have raised concerns regarding the methodologies employed, particularly the reliance on anomalies in radio signals (WSPR). They emphasize the challenges posed by the vast search area and the limitations of sonar technology.
In summary, while the renewed search for MH370 continues, no definitive images or discoveries of the plane’s wreckage at the sea’s bottom have been reported. The mission underscores the enduring commitment to solving one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.
