Underwater search for MH370 resumes
Mini-sub enters final week of scouring Indian Ocean floor
[SYDNEY] A mini-sub searching for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 recommenced its operations yesterday after technical problems, as it enters its final week of scouring the Indian Ocean seabed for signs of the aircraft.
Australia is leading the search for the plane which vanished on March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people onboard and is using the Bluefin-21 mini-sub until new equipment can be obtained.
"The autonomous underwater vehicle, Bluefin-21, was deployed from the vessel around 2am this morning. It remains underwater on its search mission," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) said.
