10 Things The Search For MH370 Uncovered That Wasn't The Missing Plane
4. The West Ridge
Sonar devices may have failed to pick up the missing Malaysian flight MH370, but it did manage to figure out where the missing West Ridge ended up.
On December 19, 20015, the wreckage of the iron built West Ridge Ship was found 12,000 feet below the surface of the Indian ocean.
Photographs revealed that the boat was lying upright and likely weighed a whopping 1,665 tons with at least two decks and a whole host of amenities.
The ship, which was built all the way back in 1869, was originally built in Glasgow but set sail to Austalia on a coal mission. Unfortunately, the boat failed to arrive, along with 28 crew members.
As of now, the boat remains at the bottom of the ocean, with search teams claiming it would be too expensive to lift the boat no matter how tempting it might be.
