Malaysia OKs new search by private company for missing plane
Malaysia's govt said Saturday that it has approved a new attempt by a private company to find the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, nearly 4 years after its disappearance sparked one of aviation's biggest mysteries. The Houston, Texas-based company Ocean Infinity dispatched a search vessel this past week to look in the southern Indian Ocean for debris from the plane. The govts of Malaysia, China and Australia called off the nearly 3-year official search last January. "The basis of the offer from Ocean Infinity is based on 'no cure, no fee,'" Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said Saturday, meaning that payment will be made only if the company finds the wreckage. However, he said, "I don't want to give too much hope ... to the (next of kin)." <br/>
