[PERTH] A US submarine drone will keep scouring the Indian Ocean floor for traces of a missing Malaysian jetliner after it finishes its current targeted search, Australian authorities told Reuters as a tropical cyclone suspended the air search.
The authorities are under growing pressure to decide their next course of action as the Bluefin-21 drone nears the end of its first sweep of remote seabed which the authorities believe is the most likely resting place of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 which vanished on March 8 with 239 people on board.
The Bluefin-21 is expected to finish its targeted search of a 10-sq-km stretch of ocean floor, where a signal suspected to be from the plane's black box was detected, come today. No wreckage has yet been found.
