KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Search Update! (9.3.2026)

The Air Accident Investigation Bureau said in a statement that a seabed search conducted by marine robotics company Ocean Infinity between March 2025 and January 2026 surveyed thousands of square kilometres of ocean floor but has not produced any confirmed findings of the aircraft wreckage.

Malaysia gave the nod to the Texas-based company last year to renew the search for Flight 370 under a “no-find, no-fee” contract at a new 15,000-square-kilometre (5,800-square-mile) site in the southern Indian Ocean where it was believed to have crashed. Ocean Infinity will be paid $70 million only if wreckage is discovered.

The search was carried out for 28 days in two phases — March 25–28 last year and Dec 31, 2025, to Jan 23 this year, covering about 7,571 square kilometres (2,923 square miles) of seabed, the bureau said. Weather periodically disrupted operations, it said.

A Slightly Inclined Seat!

Hong Kong: Biased BBC Fails to Report Cathay Pacific “Inclined Seat” Properly! (24.9.2024)

The Western (White) governments operate an ongoing project of attempting to turn as many diasporic Chinese people as possible against Mainland China. Non-Chinese people arguing over seating is so common on aeroplanes that it is virtually never considered worthy of news-time coverage – so why is this considered important? Could it be that the Hong Kongers who rioted due to Western manipulation in 2020 – are once again angry at the behaviour of PRC representatives? This Hong Kong couple was probably on their way to the UK to take-up their British citizenship (Hong Kong ceased to be British Territory in 1997), free house, free car, free education, free medical care, and privileged employment. Who knows – perhaps they will soon be frequenting Sutton United Football Ground on Sunday mornings – attempting to learn what Christianity is – as their Visas have been granted on the false grounds that they are “Christians” that have been persecuted by the CPC! This is the kind of criminal the UK governments are importing to our communities. This couple should have been arrested at Heathrow and welcomed with one of Starmer’s 12 month prison sentences given out for Public Order Offences!
