After more than 10 years, the search for the missing flight MH370 resumes:

" The Malaysian government has promised to pay a private company, Ocean Infinity, $70m (£56m) to search for the plane on a “no find, no fee” basis.

The company intends to target a 15,000 sq km (5,800 sq mile) area in the Indian Ocean where it is thought there is the highest likelihood of finding the missing aircraft."

Even if they found the CVR I wonder if it would still reveal anything after all these years underwater. I suppose that’s the only thing that would reveal what went on that night with any certainty.

Here's a very interesting take,

The search for MH370 may end up like the search for Amelia Earhart, endless.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there have only been three 777 crashes all under very bizarre circumstances.

1.  Flight MH370 were speculation is the pilot basically hijacked the plane and flew into the South Indian Ocean in the middle of nowhere.

2.  The Malaysian Airlines 777 shot down by a SAM over the Ukraine.

3.  Most recently, the Air India flight were the fuel switches were turned off immediately after take off.

Has there ever been a crash due to mechanical failure?

The Air India flight was a 787.

Speedbird 38 at Heathrow, 2008.

well, more a design fault than straight up failure really.

Ocean Infinity CEO Oliver Plunkett announced the end of the fruitless search for flight MH370 with the following statement:

“It was important for us to take advantage of every piece of information and data available and go back, but despite all that effort, we haven't been able to find it."

Such a vast and remote area, the Southern Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean.  Investigators are fortunate anything at all washed ashore.  That may be all that is ever found of Flight MH370. 

Very sad for the families of the victims.  RIP to all.
