介绍:
Two more suspicious signals detected in MH370 search
Australian authorities say they've managed to detect two more signals in the search for the flight data recorder of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The search team aboard an Australian ship searching for the black-box detected the signals during their search late yesterday.
Angus Houston is the head of the joint agency coordinating the search.
"They therefore assess that the transmission was not of natural origin and was likely sourced from specific electronic equipment. They believe the signals to be consistent with the specification and description of a flight data recorder."
The 2nd signal detected is said to have been quite weak.
This is creating concerns the flight data recorder may be running out of battery power.
Batteries on black-boxes generally last for a month.
It's been just over a month since MH370 disappeared.
At the same time, Chinese search crews says they've been made aware of possible debris in the water in the same general area where the search for the black-box is being focused.
Chinese officials are now mapping out ocean currents to try to get a better idea of where to focus their search for any remains of the missing jetliner.
Authorities are cautioning that any underwater search for the missing flight data recorder may take quite a while.
When Air France flight 447 disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, it took an underwater submersable nearly 3-weeks to locate that jet's flight data recorder, even though searchers had a good idea of where it was situated on the ocean floor.
