Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared last March 8. To this date, it remains to be found. After several search operations, not one returned successful, but Malaysia isn't giving up hope.  Recently, they hired a new team to carry on with the search.

GO Phoenix is the contractor Malaysia hired for the new phase of the search. Go Phoenix will involve three vessels to perform underwater search. The first vessel, The Phoenix, will arrive on the West Australian Coast on Sunday, and is expected to search the area around 1,500 kilometers from the said coast.

The Phoenix will start their search for 12 days and, after that, they will go to Fremantle to resupply. The other two vessels are The Furgo Discovery and Furgo Equator. Both vessels will arrive in a couple of weeks as well.

The families of the victims have suffered tremendous anguish, pain and anger over what happened. Months ago, the Malaysian Prime Minister told all the victims' families that they are concluding that no one survived the crash.

Families were angered because the Malaysian government has kept them in the dark for months before making an announcement like that. Families also doubted if the Malaysian government's conclusion is true. Until there is no sufficient evidence, the truth can still be discovered.

Malaysian Airlines MH370's wreckage, if there is one, still hasn't been found despite previous searches. This time, Furgo, a Dutch company contracted by Australia, will search the South Indian Ocean using sonar technology, with hopes of finding any signs of wreckage or debris from the missing plane.

Transport Minister Warren Truss remains hopeful. He said, as reported by ABC, "It's not clear how long that search will take. We would hope, obviously, to find the aircraft on the first day, but it could in fact take a year to search the entire area and weather conditions will have an impact."

"I remain cautiously optimistic that we will locate the missing aircraft within the priority search area," he added.

Investigators and the Malaysian government believe that the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of West Australia. However, no evidence of this theory has been found to prove their conclusion.
