Australian official says since Ocean Shield vessel has reacquired signal he is 'optimistic' plane will be found soon

The search area for the missing Malaysia airlines flight MH370 has been drastically reduced after two further detections of pings consistent with those of a black box from a plane late on Tuesday.

The head of Australia’s Joint Agency Co-ordination Centre, Angus Houston, said on Wednesday the Australian defence vessel Ocean Shield had detected two further pings on Tuesday – one in the afternoon and one in the late evening – that had allowed the search area to be further refined to 75,000 sq km. He said he was “optimistic” the plane would be found soon.

“I can now tell you that Ocean Shield has been able to reacquire the signals on two further occasions; late yesterday afternoon and late last night,” Houston said.

Aussies have done an amazing job throughout this impossible search. I hope to God they find this wreckage so the families can finally grieve.

How can we triangulate from that?

Better ask Bill Clinton.

There was a time I actually enjoyed Baldwin in a movie.

Sad he never made it, but then you don't have to go to Montana, we have a thriving population in my tract here in Anaheim.

You are unlikely to find anything so bourgeoisie as a pair
of zircon-encrusted tweezers on a Soviet submarine anyway.

Every good movie has to have a little tear jerker in it somewhere.

I always have at least one cotton tail around here and in the spring a family gets going but by mid-winter the coyotes and hawks pare it back down to one. That's a little sad too but that's the balance of nature.
