In a remarkable turn of events, recent advancements in underwater exploration technology led to the discovery of flight 804’s wreckage. A team of marine archaeologists, using state-of-the-art autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), stumbled upon the remnants of the plane at a depth of 3,000 meters, approximately 150 kilometers off the coast of Crete. This discovery reignited interest in the case and provided crucial clues to unravel the mystery.
One of the most perplexing aspects of the disappearance was why the wreckage remained undetected for so long. The location of the crash, combined with the depth of the ocean at that point, played a significant role. The Mediterranean Sea, while not as vast as some of the world’s oceans, has numerous deep trenches and complex underwater landscapes. The wreckage of flight 804 was buried under layers of sediment, further obscuring it from sonar scans conducted during initial search efforts.
