中国“海巡01”轮加大力度搜寻失联客机黑匣子

Chinese vessel Haixun 01 has intensified efforts to detect signals emitted from the black box of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, off Australia’s western coast.

Haixun 01 arrived Friday at a new search area, north of a 1.15 million square-kilometer area earlier designated by Australia. Chinese naval vessels Jinggangshan and Kunlunshan then joined up with Haixun-01 in the afternoon.

14 aircraft and 9 ships took part in Friday’s search, focusing on a 221-thousand square kilometer swathe of the southern Indian Ocean, some 1,500 kilometers west of Perth.
