The latest development: Ocean Infinity's vessel Armada 7806 has started a new search 1,200 miles off Perth, Australia. The search operation will cover 15,000 sq km over six weeks. The Malaysian government has offered a $70 million reward if the missing Boeing 777, which vanished in 2014 with 239 people on board, is located.
Significance: This search could represent the final effort to unravel one of aviation's most enduring puzzles following ten years of fruitless search attempts. The mission is employing cutting-edge underwater technology and is concentrating on four specific areas of interest identified through recent data analysis.
