An American-based deep sea exploration company believes it can help bring about a major breakthrough in the search for the missing MH370.
Deep Sea Vision CEO Tony Romeo claimed his company could reveal some important information as it is planning to send an underwater drone to search the sea floor.
He told CBS: “It flies at 50 metres above the seafloor and it just goes back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
“Big eyes, looking at everything it can see, sucks and stores data, comes back up to the surface, we pluck a thumb drive into it, pull the data out, and we watch it on a computer exactly what it looked at.”
Deap Sea Vision made a separate breakthrough earlier this year after Romeo claimed the company found Amelia Earhart’s plane on the Pacific Ocean floor.
The American aviator disappeared in 1937 at the age of 39 during her flight for New Guinea to Howard Island.
Romeo labelled his company’s technology as “unbelievable”, adding it is just short of being able to read a credit card number on the seafloor.
Directly addressing whether it could help solve the MH370 mystery, he added: “I think we can.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
“I feel like we've proved our credibility, we've proved our competence.
“We've proved our ability to take equipment and use novel techniques.”
Deap Sea Visions will soon submit a search proposal to the Malaysian Government to assist the search.
There were 239 people onboard the flight when it disappeared on March 8 in 2014.
The international passenger flight disappeared from radar en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
None of the 227 passengers or 12 crew members on board have ever been found.
The disappearance has led to a number of theories about what actually happened to the aircraft.
Ocean Infinity led a separate search in 2018 but were unable to trace the aircraft on the floor of the Indian Ocean.
Australia has also played a leading role in the search for the MH370, with 21 aircraft and 19 ships.
The search was conducted across a 12,000-square-mile corridor of water known as the seventh arc and cost £120million by the time it was called off by Canberra, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur.
