Nearly 12 years after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished with 239 people on board, a new search effort resumed Tuesday in the Indian Ocean, according to CBS News.
The Boeing 777 disappeared in March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing after its transponder was switched off.
Military radar later tracked the aircraft turning west before heading into the southern Indian Ocean.
New search efforts are set to begin this week for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, which went missing back in 2014.

Texas-based marine robotics company Ocean Infinity now has plans to deploy underwater drones during a two-month search window, with the hopes of finding answers… pic.twitter.com/7zq8Yi6i3z
The renewed operation is being led by Ocean Infinity, which is using advanced autonomous underwater vehicles capable of diving nearly 20,000 feet.
The drones are equipped with sonar, imaging tools, and metal-detection systems designed to scan the seabed in detail.
Using updated drift analysis, the search area has been narrowed to about 5,800 square miles, far smaller than previous efforts.
Malaysia has agreed to pay the company $70 million under a no-find, no-fee contract. Despite debris recovered over the years, no human remains have been found.
