Signals from black-box detected

Date:

Perth: An Australian navy ship has detected signals consistent with black-box flight recorder from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 on Monday.

The former Australian defence Chief Angus Houston leading the search coordination body said, “The towed pinger locator deployed from the Australian defence vessel Ocean Shield has detected signals consistent with those emitted from aircraft black boxes”.  Although confirmation is still to be made on the most promising lead since the search began.

The first detection lasted two hours and 20 minutes, and the second lasted 13 minutes. The vessel is continuing to monitor the area to relocate the signal.

The recent reports follow Sundays Chinese patrol ship detecting a similar pulse, which was briefly picked up again after 24 hours of primary contact.

Nine military planes, three civilian planes and 14 ships are assisting in the search operation on Monday. The search and recovery operation will cover an area of 234,000 square kilometres.
