MH370 Search Resumes: Robotics Firm Hunts Vanished Plane After 12 Years

  • Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished 12 years ago with 239 people on board.
  • Robotics firm Ocean Infinity launches a new search in the Indian Ocean for the Boeing 777.
  • The plane's transponder switched off, disappearing from civilian radar, but military radar tracked it west.
  • Previous extensive search covered 46,000 sq miles; new search area narrowed to 5,800 sq miles using drift analysis.
  • Ocean Infinity uses advanced underwater drones (AUVs) with ultrasound imaging under a "$70 million no-find, no-fee" contract.

Why It Matters: A new high-tech search for MH370 begins, aiming to solve the 12-year-old aviation mystery.
