MH370: Could this be the Flights Black Box?

(1/1)

flukky01:
An Australian search vessel has picked up two more signals from what could be the black box from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

The man in charge of the search, retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, said the Ocean Shield picked up the traces on Tuesday afternoon and late on Tuesday night Perth time

He said he now believed the search was closing in on the area of MH370's "final resting place".

The planned search area has been reduced over the past few days and now covers 75,000 square kilometres.

Air Chief Marshal Houston says he is confident the search is in the right area.

"So I think we're looking in the right area, but I'm not prepared to confirm anything until such time as somebody lays eyes on the wreckage," he said.

Air Chief Marshal Houston said the Ocean Shield would be looking to pick up more transmissions which would help to better pinpoint where the signal was coming from.
