Nope this is not a drill. It is finally happening.
I got a super exciting email from one of the key MH370 investigators who I’ve interviewed on the channel, Jean-Luc Marchand, who informed me that the Malaysian government is getting close to a signature with Ocean Infinity on their “no find, no fee” agreement to pay the $70 million IF the wreckage and crash site of MH370 is found through their efforts.
But that isn’t the only news. With the signature on the horizon, one of Ocean Infinity's Armada ships has already been sailing for a few days towards the probable search zone and it appears they will be starting with the zone proposed by Jean-Luc and Captain Blelly in their research!
Jean-Luc and I deep dive on this news and MORE on our official MH370 Part 2 video on Youtube, which is live right now!
AND you can follow along with the search now because Jean-Luc and his team have created a dedicated webpage to follow OI’s Armada 78-06 ship’s progress. The link to that is posted in the description of our new youtube video: MH370 Part 2 A Conversation with Jean-Luc Marchand.
The ship's progress is updated at 30 minutes past every hour with the search and searched zones also illustrated.
Good luck to Ocean Infinity! We hope our next tilscience update will be on the found plane!
The original conversation I had with Jean-Luc in studio was 2 hours long that we had to cut down to one hour, so if you enjoy the nitty gritty details. We’ve put the rest of the conversation for you watch in full below.
Enjoy!
