Families of the 239 people on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are pushing the Malaysian government to extend its contract with ocean infinity. The deep sea firm has been searching for the Boeing 777 that banished 12 years ago on March 8th, 2014. Wow. Flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The deal is no find, no fee, meaning $70 million, only if wreckage turns up. Earlier this week, Mark the 10th anniversary of the disappearance, one of aviation's biggest mysteries. Multiple hunts in the Southern Indian Ocean have come up empty over the years. The latest effort wrapped up without success after two phases totaling 28 days. Team scanned around 7571 square kilometers of seabed, but rough weather kept disrupting things with the final. Phase ending on January 23rd. Malaysia's air accident investigation bureau says they're committed to updating families and will share more as needed.

Voice 370, a group for the families, worries winter conditions down south will halt work before the contract ends in June.
