MH370 Search Vessel Sinks After Crashing Into Volcano
25th January 2016
A deep-sea sonar vehicle searching for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has sunk to the ocean floor after colliding with an underwater mud volcano.
The collision with the 2,200-metre mud volcano on Sunday broke the cable between the sonar vehicle, known as a towfish, and the Fugro Discovery search vessel.
The towfish and 4,500 metres of cable are now resting on the floor of the Indian Ocean, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) said in a statement.
Let that be a lesson to us all.
