Experts have had a major breakthrough in the mystery surround the missing MH370 flight after nuclear sensors picked up crucial sounds.
The Boeing 777 plane carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese nationals, from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing vanished from radar shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014.It sparked the largest search in aviation history, with the aircraft still having not been found.But there is fresh hope after researchers at Cardiff University analysed over 100 hours of underwater audio for any further clues.
They may have detected the sound of the plane crashing, Dr Kadri said.Writing in The Conversation, he said: "A 200-tonne aircraft crashing at a speed of 200 metres per second would release the kinetic energy equivalent to a small earthquake."It would be large enough to be recorded by hydrophones thousands of kilometres away.
