It has been almost three months since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 mysteriously disappeared with passengers and crew. Millions have been spent on the search for this missing flight with submarines trolling the depths of the Indian Ocean and government officials looking all over in the countries surrounding the Southern Indian Ocean. Taking action in what may seem desperate to some and groundbreaking to others the families are launching a crowd funding campaign on Indiegogo.
Similar to other crowdfunding websites like Kickstarter or Rockethub, Indiegogo allows people to fund just about whatever they would like. Unlike Kickstarter that backs projects that can produce certain kinds of content or products, Indiegogo has most kinds of projects available. Since crowdfunding has been growing as a viable way to accomplish certain goals it was a clever way for the people involved with Flight 370 to try and get the answers they want.
Their goal is to reach 300 million dollars as a reward for someone to reveal new, most likely secret, information as to the whereabouts of the plane. With all the searching having been done by all parties involved many believe that this is some sort of government conspiracy. It's difficult to say if this is either a final thread of hope that the families have clung onto or if there is really a conspiracy behind the disappearing flight. If the latter is true than this reward might be the solution to the problem.
In other news about the continuing search for the flight, acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein has decided to call out both Boeing and Rolls Royce for their involvements in the search efforts. In his statement he hoped that the companies will eventually "come and have to be more open with their position." Since it was their engines and their technologies that seemed to fail the searching agencies require as much information as possible from these manufacturers. If, as Hishammuddin Hussein, is true than the two companies could stand to become more available with that kind of information.
