Deep sea researchers believe they may have located the wreckage of missing flight MH370 more than ten years after the plane disappeared.
In the early hours of March 8, 2014, the Malaysian Airlines flight took off from Kuala Lumpur heading north to Beijing, China.
However, MH370 disappeared from radar after takeoff, leading to one of the greatest mysteries in modern aviation history.
The aircraft’s last known location was in the Andaman Sea after it was detected by military radar.
What exactly happened next is not known. However, the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) later concluded that MH370 most likely crashed in the southern Indian Ocean, about 2,500 kilometers west of the Australian city of Perth, and that all 239 passengers died in the accident.
During an intensive search for possible crash sites, aircraft debris was found. Since there is no official explanation for the plane crash, numerous theories are circulating on the Internet.
However, a US deep-sea researcher believes he can solve the mystery.

Tony Romeo, CEO of Deep Sea Vision, made headlines in January this year by claiming he had found the remains of Amelia Earhart’s plane after it went missing in 1937.
Now he claims he could do the same to find the missing airline ticket MH370.
In an interview with an Australian television show 60 minutes Back in March, former Air Force intelligence officer Romeo said he believed Deep Sea Vision could make a breakthrough in this case.
Romeo explained he would do this by sending one of those Hugin 6000 underwater drones to the seabed, saying: “I think we can (find flight MH370). I think we have proven our credibility and our competence. We have proven our ability to use equipment and use novel techniques.”
Rumor has it that Romero’s company is now preparing a search proposal to present to the Malaysian government.
“I think the Malaysian government wants answers,” he continued.
“I just can’t believe that they don’t want such a big accident, such a major accident, to remain unexplained. That’s just not fair, that wouldn’t be fair to the families.”

Romero further explained how the drone would work on the seabed, adding: “It (the drone) flies 50 meters above the seabed and just moves back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.”
“Big eyes looking at everything they can see, sucking up data and storing it, coming back to the surface, we put a USB stick in, pull out the data and look at exactly what they looked at on a computer.”
