Kuala Lumpur: A video has been released explaining the nitty-gritties involved in the search of the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, which went missing almost 8 months ago, Yahoo News reported.
The plane that disappeared in March had 239 passengers on board and was bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
The video states, "The search area is a long way from land, the water is very deep and the seafloor is largely uncharted."

Stressing on the ongoing search, "The expert satellite working group - comprised the best international minds in this field - is continually refining analysis of the available data to identify the areas of the highest priority.”
Search for MH370 includes all possible points along the Indian Ocean. They will be focusing on those areas where communication between the plane and a satellite could have taken place.
As the seafloor in the search area is 6km deep and cannot be penetrated by daylight, a detailed underwater search is being carried out, Towed submersible vehicles fitted with sonar systems are being used in search.

The search is being conducted by the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JAAC), a co-operative effort between Australia, Malaysia and China. Judith Zielke, Chief Coordinator of JAAC told the New Straits Times last month that the search had begun with the optimism that the plane would eventually be found.
"We are planning for when the aircraft is located. We want to be ready to put in place all that is required at that time," she said. "We are into the seventh month of the search and we want to be as ready as we possibly can."

Video was released shortly after Malaysian Airlines commercial director Hugh Dunleavy’s statement where he said the MH370 would be announced lost, thereby ending the search.
The comment outraged families of those who had travelled on the ill-fated flight. Malaysia Airlines later distanced itself from Dunleavy's comments.
