Crews hunting for the missing Malaysian airliner extended the search to beneath the surface of the Indian Ocean, listening for pings from beacons on the planeโs black boxes before the onboard batteries fail.
A Chinese patrol ship detected a pulse signal with a frequency of 37.5 kilohertz while searching in the southern Indian Ocean and hasnโt established whether itโs from the jet, the official Xinhua News Agency reported today. Underwater locator beacons transmit at that frequency. An Australian ship towing U.S. Navy sensors and a British vessel are also listening for pings from beacons on the black boxes.http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-04-04/undersea-hunt-begins-for-missing-jet-s-black-boxes.html
Jeebus -- let's hope this is truly and finally what they have all been searching for.
The Gadfly cannot stand the suspense any longer - the quintessential essence of his living life existence has been hanging by a bare thread pending the outcome of this mystery.
Oh dear!! What will CNN report on now if they've really found the plane?? Poor bastards.
