Deep-water Search

Australian authorities searching for a missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet said on Monday they had lost a deep-water sonar detector being used to scour a patch of the ocean floor where the plane is believed to have gone down almost two years ago.

Two ships surveying the sea floor where Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is thought to have crashed are making steady progress with a deep-water search to get underway in September, Australian authorities said Thursday.

Australia today said it has robust satellite data that indicates that the missing Malaysian plane can be traced in the Indian Ocean and authorities will soon announce a search area of about 60,000 square kms which will be searched by deep-water technology.
