New research has suggested that hydrophones - underwater microphones - could be used to solve the mystery behind the doomed aircraft MH370 which went missing over ten years ago.
The Boeing 777 plane carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese nationals, from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing vanished from radar shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014. Satellite data showed the plane deviated from its flight path and is believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.Despite multinational search efforts, including extensive underwater searches along and near the so-called “seventh arc”, the main wreckage has not been found.
