Here’s a summary of where things stand:
• The 13th day of the search for MH370 has opened in the southern Indian Ocean, with five merchant ships answering a call to search alongside surveillance aircraft from Australia, the US and New Zealand.
• Frustrated relatives of missing passengers were ejected from a news conference with Malaysian officials Wednesday. The relatives accused authorities of withholding information. “We can’t stand it any more,” one shouted. Malaysia Airlines promised to provide more updates to families.
• Malaysian officials said the search for MH370 was “now a truly international effort” involving 26 countries. FBI investigators were asked to help recover deleted files from a flight simulator the pilot used and to analyse other electronic files.
• MH370 may not have used waypoints to navigate after losing contact with ground control, Malaysia’s defense minister suggested, contradicting a Reuters report last week.
• Investigators examining the plane’s disappearance believe it flew into the southern Indian Ocean, a source told Reuters. “The working assumption is that it went south, and furthermore that it went to the southern end of that corridor,” said the source.Source: The Guardian
