Australia to ‘expand’ hunt for MH370

Australia’s Prime Minister Tony Abbott says an underwater hunt for a missing Malaysian passenger plane will be expanded.

Abbott told reporters in Canberra on Monday that “a much larger” area of the Indian Ocean floor would now be searched for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

“Essentially though, what we are looking to do is conduct as thorough an undersea search as is humanly possible,” Abbott said.

He, however, said the aerial searches for the plane were suspended because it was “highly unlikely” any debris from the plane would be found on the surface of the waters.

“I am now required to say to you that it is highly unlikely at this stage that we will find any aircraft debris on the ocean surface,” Abbott told reporters in Canberra.

“By this stage, 52 days into the search, most material would have become water logged and sunk,” he added.

The plane, carrying 239 people, disappeared off radars over the South China Sea on March 8 when it was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

The undersea drone Bluefin-21 has been searching a 10-square-kilometer (6.2- square-mile) stretch of seabed, some 4,500 meters below the surface about 2,000 miles northwest of the Australian city of Perth.

The area was identified after authorities detected what they suspected was a signal from the jet’s black box recorder on April 4.

The development comes as Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, whose government has faced criticism over its transparency on MH370, has pledged that a preliminary report submitted to the UN’s aviation body would be released publicly.
