Secrets behind the Search of MH370 Missing Flight

Still there is no news for missing Malaysian Airlines MH370. More than 10 countries have already participated in searching the flight. It is known to everyone that according to the radar information, MH370 changed its direction which is totally opposite of its original destination. Currently the new search area is of 319,000 square kilometers (123,000 sq mi), roughly 1,850 kilometers (1,150 mi) west of Perth. But on 2 April, the centre of the search area was shifted again 456 kilometers (283 mi) east, to a position 1,504 kilometers (935 mi) west of Perth.

To find the missing plane, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Bluefin-21 have already used for 10 times underwater missions. Bluefn-21 AUV is designed by Bluefin Robotics. This underwater vehicle mostly used in offshore oil and gas exploration. It can carry multiple sensors at a time.It uses an INS to provide the best possible navigation accuracy.

Although Bluefin-21 is a very powerful AUV, still it cannot reach on the greatest depth area because of high water pressure. Now a day, it is very common to take a picture from moon or it is also possible to find an object from the outer space but the science or technology cannot make it footprint in the depth of the water. May be it’s not a good news for human being.

Before Bluefin-21 started the search mission, it was predicted that the depth of the place where search will be going on is about 4200-4400 meters depth. But after launching the mission it is founded the depth of that place is about 4500 meters (14800 ft) . In that position the water has very high pressure and Bluefin-21 automatically goes upward from the water. It cannot tolerate that much pressure.

After launching the AUV, a new thing which makes all the water, scientists very shocked is underwater waters. There are huge wastes in underwater which are unexpected for everyone. Even Bluefin-21 has already taken some pictures, but because of huge wastes nothing can be seen properly. It’s really shocking news for us. Just imagine only because of wastes, we are unable to reach the proper direction.

Scientists are claiming this situation is happening only due to the ignorance of underwater research.

The team those are involved in searching flights, lost their hope day by day. Because there is not a single proof of the flight. Now we can only hope for the best.

This accident again reminds us the limitation of the science or the limitation of the human brain.
