Missing plane update reports that the 'ping' detected last week are slowly vanishing leading into a more complicated search operation.
Sonar pings were detected last week along the Indian Ocean which was expected to be coming from the missing Malaysian jet. The electrical pulses detected was said to be coming from the plane's black box which can potentially help in locating the exact location of the aircraft that went missing. The newest missing plane update says that no new signals were detected since Tuesday.
After the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing on March 8, series of search and rescue missions were established with an attempt to locate and recover the missing aircraft. The flight is en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing carrying 239 people including the crew members. The sudden disappearance of the aircraft with no clues leaving behind has speculated many theories which included the idea that the plane might be hijacked or that it crashed.
It was 17 days after that the Malaysia's Prime Minister has issued an official statement that the aircraft had crashed in the vast and remote area of Indian Ocean. The statement released was based from the missing plane update that presented several satellite images taken by different countries which could possibly be the debris of MH370. Search missions became extensive to recover the said remains of the plane however, nothing are yet recovered.
Just last week, the missing plane update includes the detection of pings that possibly came from the MH370s black box. A Chinese patrol hip has deployed a black box detector and received a signal with a frequency of 37.5kHz per second - the same as emitted by flight recorders - at about 25 degrees south latitude and 101 degrees east longitude. This has actually given hope that the plane may be finally recovered.
As four strong signals were detected underwater last week, the recent missing plane update is quite making another hopeless dilemma. The strong signals detected can no longer be traced which could mean one thing-the batteries may have finally died. According to aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas, the battery life on the beacons is supposed to last for only 30 days and the hunt for the missing MH370 jet is now already taking 37 days.
