Black Box Detector Joining Malaysia Plane Search

Australian authorities say a navy warship with a sophisticated U.S. black box locator heads out Sunday to join the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. It will take a few days for the Ocean Shield and its flight recorder detector to arrive at the location officials say the Boeing 777 may have gone down. Authorities say 10 ships and 10 aircraft are involved in the search Sunday in a vast area of the Indian Ocean far off the coast of the western Australian city of Perth. Newly arrived Chinese relatives of passengers on board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 shouts slogans as they speak to reporters at a hotel in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, Sunday March 30, 2014. Newly arrived Chinese relatives of passengers on board the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 shouts slogans as they speak to reporters at a hotel in Subang Jaya, Malaysia, Sunday March 30, 2014. Meanwhile, dozens of angry Chinese relatives of missing passengers arrived in Kuala Lumpur Sunday, demanding more information about what happened to the aircraft, accusing Malaysian officials of withholding vital information. Most of the people on board the jet were Chinese. On Saturday, Chinese planes spotted objects in the Indian Ocean bearing the same colors as the missing jet. However, investigators said those objects and others that have been pulled from the water cannot be confirmed as debris from the airliner. The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is now into its fourth week. The search shifted more than 1,000 kilometers northeast Friday when investigators determined the plane flew faster and burned fuel more quickly than previously estimated. This means the jet did not fly as far as believed. The Boeing 777 disappeared March 8, thousands of kilometers west of its intended flight path. The jet took off from Kuala Lumpur and was headed to Beijing. Officials believe the aircraft crashed into the southern Indian Ocean far from land. They have not ruled out any cause, including terrorism or a hijacking.
