Perth: In the ongoing search operations of MH370, an Australian navy ship has detected some new signals agreeable with the black box of the missing aircraft.
The pinger locator that collected the signals was deployed from the Australian defense vessel Ocean Shield and has been under the assumptions that the detected signals were emitted from the black boxes of the aircraft. According to the former Australian defense chief Angus Houston who has been coordinating the search operations, some more agreeable evidences are needed for an absolute confirmation.
Some of the planes and ships searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner in the Indian Ocean has been moved towards a Chinese vessel which had picked up some “ping” signals during the weekend, raising further hopes of finding the black-box recorders of the MH370.
The black boxes are thought be to lying on the ocean floor and equipped with locator beacons which are capable of sending ping signals on the same frequency. But the batteries of the beacons are considered to be running out by this time since the flight missing incident was about a month before.
