Search for MH370 resumes in Indian Ocean

The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has resumed in a desolate stretch of the Indian Ocean, more than six months after the passenger jet vanished.

The Malaysian-contracted GO Phoenix vessel arrived in the area on Monday to begin its underwater search, scanning the ocean floor for the plane, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said.

The search has been on hold for four months so crews could map the seabed in the search zone, about 1,800km west of Australia.

Given the unknown nature of the ocean floor in that area, since found to include extinct volcanoes, sheer ridges and deep trenches, a bathymetric survey to map the seabed was considered vital before an underwater search could start.

Wenger was the aggressor during Arsenal's defeat at Chelsea, pushing Mourinho in the chest, although he subsequently claimed that he had been provoked as he was interrupted while trying to walk down the touchline to check on the welfare of Alexis Sanchez. Gary Cahill had been extremely fortunate not to be sent off after a dangerous lunge on Sanchez but the recklessness of that challenge came to be overshadowed by the two managers squaring up and having to be separated by fourth official Jonathan Moss.
