An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters:
> Malaysia has agreed to [1]resume the search for the wreckage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 , its transport minister said on Friday, more than 10 years after it [2]disappeared in one of the [3]world's greatest aviation mysteries . Flight MH370, a Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
>
> [...] MH370's last transmission was about 40 minutes after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing. The pilots signed off as the plane entered Vietnamese air space over the Gulf of Thailand and soon after its transponder was turned off.
"Our responsibility and obligation and commitment is to the next of kin," Transport Minister Anthony Loke told a press conference. "We hope this time will be positive, that the wreckage will be found and give closure to the families."

Can they maybe start by explaining why the "murder/suicide by pilot" theory was so quickly ruled out earlier, despite pretty consistent signs:
- pilot flew that exact route over the Indian Ocean on his simulator a month earlier
- tracking info was most likely turned off manually

The pilot had been coordinating with aliens to help them abduct all the passengers. He flew the plane through a portal and the wing tip got sheared off.

It was the pilot.

I don't see how that helps find the airplane, though.
