An American company has claimed that it has scientific evidence of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370's final resting place, the Independent reported.&nbsp;

Flight MH370 mysteriously disappeared from radar screens on March 8, 2014, while flying over the South China Sea, becoming one of Malaysia's deadliest aviation incidents.&nbsp;

The aircraft, which was headed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members and all onboard were presumed dead.&nbsp;

A few bits of debris washed up on an island in the Indian Ocean, but besides that, the authorities did not find any trace of the wreck.&nbsp;

Relatives of passengers even called for a new search 10 years after the tragic incident as they spoke of grief and the struggle to find closure.&nbsp;

In the latest development, a Texas-based company, Ocean Infinity, announced a proposal for a new search in the southern Indian Ocean where the plane is believed to have crashed.&nbsp;

The company has already submitted the proposal to the Malaysian government, proposing a "no-cure, no-fee" approach for further search. Reports mentioned that the client will have to pay for the services if the company secures a positive outcome.&nbsp;

Notably, in January 2017, the official search for the missing jet was suspended and a private six-month search conducted a year later also turned up nothing.&nbsp;

As quoted by the news site, Oliver Plunkett, the company's chief executive officer (CEO), said: "We now feel in a position to be able to return to the search for MH370, and have submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government."&nbsp;

"Finding MH370 and bringing some resolution for all connected with the loss of the aircraft has been a constant in our minds since we left the southern Indian Ocean in 2018," he added.&nbsp;

"Since then, we have focused on driving the transformation of operations at sea; innovating with technology and robotics to further advance our ocean search capabilities," Plunkett further said.&nbsp;

He said that he is "very, very confident that the government of Malaysia and cabinet will approve" the proposal. Plunkett stated that the company was evaluating the data with the goal of narrowing the search area. "This is undoubtedly the most difficult, and hence the most important, quest out there," he said.&nbsp;

"We've been working with many experts, some outside of Ocean Infinity, to continue analysing the data in the hopes of narrowing the search area down to one in which success becomes potentially achievable. We hope to get back to the search soon," he said.&nbsp;

MH370 mystery: US-based company claims it knows the flight's final resting place

A private search vessel has located a French submarine that went missing in the western Mediterranean more than 50 years ago, officials said Monday, raising hopes the mystery over the disappearance can finally be solved.

"It's a success, a relief, and a technical feat," Defence minister Florence Parly wrote on Twitter, after the wreck was discovered off the southern French port of Toulon.

"I am thinking of the families who have waited for this moment for so long."&nbsp;

The Minerve submarine was lost off France's southern coast with 52 sailors on board on January 17, 1968.

Despite multiple search efforts over the years, it had never been found.

Parly announced a new search mission at the beginning of 2019, backed by the latest technology and naval vessels, following fresh demands from the families of deceased sailors to find the remains of their loved ones.

Tides and currents in the western Mediterranean were modelled by the team, while data from the time of the accident was also re-analysed, including seismic reports indicating the likely implosion of the vessel as it dropped to the seabed.

But the discovery was ultimately made by a boat belonging to private US company Ocean Infinity, which found the Minerve 45 kilometres (30 miles) from Toulon at a depth of 2,370 metres (7,800 feet), a senior French naval officer told AFP.

The boat, the Seabed Constructor, arrived on the scene last Tuesday, the officer said on condition of anonymity.

The Seabed Constructor was also successful in locating Argentina's lost San Juan submarine in November 2018 which had disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean a year earlier.

Naval mystery&nbsp;

The cause of the accident involving the Minerve has never been announced.

Experts have speculated that it could have been due to a problem with its rudder, a collision with another boat, the explosion of a missile or torpedo, or a fault with its oxygen supply systems.

The 1960s were deadly times for submarine crews, with a host of accidents reported around the world.

In April 1963, the nuclear-powered USS Thresher sank with 129 people aboard off Cape Cod, while 99 lives were lost in the USS Scorpion when it sank in the Atlantic five years later.&nbsp;

Also in 1968, the Soviet K-129 submarine armed with three nuclear missiles was lost in the North Pacific. It was found by the US in a covert operation in 1974.

The year 1968 was also marked by the disappearance of The Dakar, an Israeli vessel carrying out its maiden voyage with 69 men on board.

It disappeared and was only found off the Greek island of Crete in 1999.

French submarine lost in 1968 located in Mediterranean

After more than four years of fruitless efforts to find the missing Malaysian airline MH370, Malaysian authorities will formally end the search of missing airline on Tuesday.

The&nbsp;Malaysian government will review the investigation after the search will be done.

Malaysia government has so far said that it has no plans to begin any new searches.

The second attempt of the search is being carried in May after Malaysia agreed in January to pay Ocean Infinity a US-based exploration firm to carry out the investigation if it finds the plane within 90 days.&nbsp;

They are still conducting the operation in the Indian Ocean where experts believe that flight might have crashed.

The Boeing MH370 went missing in 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China. There were 239 passengers on board.

Initial search operations were happening&nbsp;in South China Sea but after the analysts revealed that the plane diverted to South the search shifted to the Indian Ocean. There is no report why the pilot shifted from its route.

However, there is speculations that someone delibertaely switched off the transponder of the plane and diverted it over the Indian Ocean.

The company is conducting unpaid search operation and it would have recieved $70 million if it had found the weackage and both black boxes in 90 days which ends today.

The company, however, has asked for an extension till May 29.

Many pieces of the aircraft debris have also been collected from Indian Ocean islands and along Africa's east coast, with at least three confirmed as being from the missing plane.
