Relatives of victims hand over suspected debris from MH370 to Malaysian authorities.

Sputnik news agency on February 10 quoted expert Andre Milne, founder of military technology company Unicorn Aerospace (Canada), claiming that he had just found the location of the plane.Malaysia's MH370 was lostmysteriously disappeared in 2014.

Milne called on Chinese satellite technology company Chang Guang to investigate the location at latitude 12.0159 and longitude 104.1520. The coordinates are in the Cambodian jungle northwest of Phnom Penh and near Phnom Aural, the country’s highest mountain. However, images showed the area was densely forested and there was no sign of a crash.

“Please note that my suggestion is based on the existence of unidentified debris that resembles the shape and size of a large aircraft that crashed at that coordinate,” said Milne, who said the crash site was in a densely forested area and was 4km from the nearest trail.

Previously, Chang Guang Company had investigated information provided by many people about the location of MH370, including British expert Ian Wilson who said that the plane crashed in Cambodia when searching on Google's map service. However, satellites later detected no signs of the plane crashing.

A company representative said the cost to control the satellite to participate in unusual missions is up to 5 million yuan (17.2 billion VND)/day.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, carrying 239 passengers and crew members en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. After four years of fruitless searching, the Malaysian government announced in May 2018 that it had no idea what had happened and suspended all search efforts.
