New search proposed for missing MH370 flight 1100km off Western Australian coastline
Randy Rolston’s 19-page report identifies a 1,000 sq km crash site with a NASA-detected carbon monoxide spike as a key clue for a new targeted MH370 search.
- In 2026, Kansas businessman Randy Rolston proposed a targeted mid-Indian Ocean search identifying a 1,000 square kilometre possible crash site and a 10-nautical-mile strip.
- Amid gaps in earlier searches, Rolston contends a NASA-detected carbon monoxide spike on March 8 could be a 'smoking gun', suggesting the Wharton Basin may hide wreckage missed by the 2014 ocean surface search.
- The flight took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, last communicated about 38 minutes after takeoff and continued flying for more than six hours after contact was lost.
- Finding the aircraft would provide families and loved ones of the missing clarity and closure, Mr Rolston says, while Ocean Infinity recently agreed with the Government of Malaysia on a $US70 million, 55-day seabed search resumption.
- The Australian Transport Safety Bureau identified about 25,000 square kilometres as highest likelihood, following a 710,000 square kilometre search suspended in 2017, while Ocean Infinity continues private searches roughly 2,400 km southwest of Perth.
