Search for missing plane includes 26 countries
Twenty six countries are involved in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines’ plane as passengers and crew are investigated.
Malaysian police are looking at the backgrounds of the pilots, crew and passengers of a missing aircraft as evidence mounted that the plane was diverted by someone who knew how to switch off its communications and tracking systems.
The Malaysian government appealed for international help in the search for the plane across two corridors stretching from the Caspian Sea to the southern Indian Ocean, diplomats said.
Australia will lead a search of the remote southern Indian Ocean, its prime minister said today.
No trace of Malaysia Airlines’ flight MH370 has been found since it vanished on March 8 with 239 people on board.
Satellite data suggests the plane could be anywhere in either of two huge areas: one stretching from northern Thailand to the borders of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, or a southern arc from Indonesia into the Indian Ocean west of Australia.
The plane had enough fuel to fly for a total of about seven-and-a-half to eight hours, Malaysia Airlines’ Chief Executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said yesterday.
