The search for the missing plane from Malaysia is not yet over as the team continues to explore the vast Indian Ocean, but this time investigators will be focusing on the south part as a probable crash site.
Different measures were already taken by the respective authorities of the country along with other nations, but there is still no new progress regarding the whereabouts of the MH370 flight after it disappeared from the sky way back in March. The search and rescue mission launched were actually relying on the different technologies with the help of other countries such as Australia. As the length of days already widened, many are still hopeful to locate the missing plane from Malaysia.
New updates on the search mission for the said aircraft revealed that the team will be shifting its coverage on the southern part of the Indian Ocean, the Associated Press says. Indian Ocean has been the focus of the search since it is believed to be the crash site of the missing Malaysian plane. Authorities were convinced that it was really the crash site after satellite images shown pieces of what thought to be the debris of MH370.
The next target of the search will be hundreds of kilometers south part of the first suspected crash site. According to the commissioner Australian Transport Safety Bureau, Martin Dolan the new search area will be in the southern part from the area where a remote controlled drone detected a signal from what was believed to be from the missing Malaysian plane's black box, but that is no longer being relied on.
Powerful sonar equipment will be used for the newer search attempt. The decision to shift south did not come from any new data recovered, but it actually came from an analysis after the missing plane went off its course from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing on March 8. The job is actually expected to take up to 12 months to complete.
