We should welcome the news that a U.S. company, Ocean Infinity, is negotiating a no-find no-fee contract with the Malaysian government to search for MH-370.

MH-370, a Malaysian Airlines jet carrying 239 passengers and crew, was lost somewhere over the Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014. Until now, various governments have taken the lead in the hunt for the plane’s wreckage, spending over $150 million searching 45,000 square miles–an area larger than Washington State. But having had no success, pressure on government budgets and military resources led these governments to cancel their efforts.
