07:40
amounts of debris the search was
07:42
conducted mostly by the governments of
07:44
Malaysia Australia and China and it had
07:46
become the most expensive search in
07:48
aviation history costing 155 million
07:51
dollars
07:52
the official report from the search
07:53
claimed to have narrowed down the
07:54
location of the crash to a twenty five
07:56
thousand square kilometer area in the
07:58
ocean here west of Australia an area
08:00
roughly the same size as Macedonia in
08:02
January 2018 though a private US company
08:05
called ocean infinity announced that it
08:07
would resume the search for the plane in
08:08
that twenty five thousand square
08:09
kilometre area but as of March 2018
08:12
after searching a thirty three thousand
08:14
square kilometer area around it they too
08:16
have found nothing after over four years
08:18
of searching and coming up with few
08:20
answers the speculation as to what
08:22
happened to mh370 has been rampant we're
08:24
pretty certain about the path of flight
08:25
took in the general area of where it
08:27
crashed but we're no closer to
08:29
understanding why it happened the first
08:31
major theory that got a lot of early
08:33
attention was a possible hijacking from
08:34
passengers on board there were two men
08:36
aboard the flight who are Iranian
08:37
citizens with stolen passports which
08:40
raised a considerable amount of
08:41
suspicion they had only purchased
08:42
one-way tickets from Kuala Lumpur to
08:44
Beijing and only entered Malaysia a week
08:46
before the flight depart
08:48
but Interpol later concluded that both
08:49
men were simply asylum seekers fleeing
08:51
Iran and not terrorists neither of them
08:54
had the relevant skills to have flown a
08:56
plane and performed hijacking and both
08:58
American and Malaysian officials
08:59
extensively reviewed the backgrounds of
09:01
every single passenger named in the
09:03
flight manifest and came up with no
09:04
potential leads there was speculation
09:07
that the plane could have been hijacked
09:08
and taken to a remote island but no
09:10
group to date has ever claimed
09:11
responsibility for that and following
09:13
the discovery of the wreckage off the
09:15
coast of Africa this theory has become
09:16
extremely unlikely a passenger hijacking
09:19
doesn't seem likely to have taken place
09:20
but what about a crew hijacking there
09:23
was considerable suspicion raised around
09:25
captain Sahara Ahmed Shah but no
09:27
conclusive evidence has been found that
