BREAKING NEWS The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (Amsa) says search operations have ended for the day and will continue on Friday morning. You can see the full statement (at link).
Four days went by before officials acted on satellite data showing Malaysia Airlines 3786.KU -2.08% Flight 370 flew for several hours away from the area being covered by a massive international search, people familiar with the matter said—a delay from which investigators are still working to recover.
The satellite’s operator, Britain’s Inmarsat ISAT.LN -0.35% PLC, on March 11 turned over to a partner company its data analysis and other documents indicating that the plane wasn’t anywhere near the areas on either side of Malaysia where more countries and ships had been searching for three days since the plane disappeared. The documents included a map showing two divergent north and south corridors for the plane’s route stretching some 3,000 miles from the plane’s last previously known location, the people said.
Thanks for the info!
