They have scanned the first planned area by now. We can only wait and hope that they have found something perhaps a small reference to #MH370 and wait for the news. Pago Pago is on the other side of the world. I dont think they came back after that turn 🤔

They are still working hard and searching. Unfortunately, we can't send direct messages to the team on the ship. I think they deserve a lot of respect and thanks for their dangerous work on the open sea. Let us thank them and wish them all the best!

It looks like they had two points of interest (POIs) recently at last and are now slowly leaving the search area. What do you think @mh370.io @benjohn65.bsky.social ?
