As search intensifies and good news filter
through the screen daily about the missing Malaysian MH370 plane carrying 239
people, I can only but be glad that finally we can have some closure.
Planes and ships hunting for the missing
Malaysian jetliner have zeroed in on a smaller patch of the Indian Ocean after
a navy ship picked up underwater signals consistent with a plane's black box.
Today's search zone was the smallest yet in
the month-long hunt for MH370, and comes a day after the Australian official in
charge of the search expressed hope that crews were closing in on the
"final resting place" of the vanished jet.
Angus Houston, who is co-ordinating the
search off Australia's west coast, said on Wednesday that equipment on the
Australian vessel Ocean Shield had picked up two sounds from deep below the
surface on Tuesday, and an analysis of two other sounds detected in the same
general area on Saturday showed they were consistent with a plane's flight
recorders.
Finding the flight data and cockpit voice
recorders soon is important because their locator beacons have a battery life
of about a month, and Tuesday marked one month since MH370 vanished en route
from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing with 239 people on board.
