After 8 months, search for MH370 still draws a blank

While the search for missing Malaysia airlines flight MH370 may have yielded no results yet, the submersibles scouring the Indian Ocean seabed for wreckage of the plane have reportedly discovered fascinating undersea crevices and inactive volcanoes.

According to Stuff.co.nz, eight months after the flight's sudden disappearance, the international squadrons of reconnaissance and fleets of frigates and icebreakers are gone.

The US Navy's 7th Fleet, with some 800 sailors dedicated to the search of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has also left.

The hunt for the MH370 wreckage has apparently failed to find any concrete evidence till date.

Judith Zielke, chief coordinator of Australia's Flight 370 recovery efforts reportedly said in an interview that the underwater effort was slow and painstaking, moving at about 3.2 kilometres an hour and sometimes sidelined by harsh weather.

The Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members went missing on 8 March 2014.
