Where’s MH370? The Search Wraps Up
Short news for the curious: Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced on Wednesday that the hunt for the missing Flight MH370 will officially wrap up on May 29.
Quick Recap of the Mystery
- On March 8, 2014 Flight MH370, carrying 239 people, vanished while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
- The previous government had paid $70 million to Ocean Infinity if the aircraft was found in the Southern Indian Ocean.
- By April, the ocean‑search company declared its target area scanned and asked for a brief extension.
Why the Extension?
Loke, who just took the reins, said that the survey crews needed a few extra days—April to May 29—to sweep the last key spots. He noted the search was progressing “as planned,” but that the final splash‑check still matters.
Full Report Coming?
Meanwhile, Loke promised the public will get a complete investigation dossier once the sea‑search ends. He hasn’t yet given a release date, but the message is clear: no more secrets.
“I’m not privy to the unspoken details, but as minister, I am committed to releasing all details to the public,” Loke said.
Bottom Line
The MH370 saga reaches its final chapter as Ocean Infinity finishes charting the last stretch of the ocean. Whether the plane surfaces by May 29 will be the answer we’ve all been waiting for.
