10 Things The Search For MH370 Uncovered That Wasn't The Missing Plane
6. The Kooringa
Not long after the MH370 disappeared, satellite images of what looked like plane debris suggested that the missing aircraft had fallen into the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Search teams pounced on the area, doing their very best to uncover the plane as well as the passengers on board.
They may not have found the plane wreckage but they did find the final resting place of a cargo ship that was carrying a number of seamen as well as wives and children.
The vessel was narrowed down to a few likely suspects, with the Kooringa cited as a possibility. The Kooringa, which set sail in 1894, failed to reach its destination and was presumed to have sunk.
