Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by K. V. Seth (NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - April 5, 2014: Chinese search ship Haixun 01 report picking up a pulse signal which could be from the MH370 black box, Chinese state media say.
Australian planes may be sent to the southern Indian Ocean search area where a Chinese ship looking for flight MH370 detected a “pulse signal” at a frequency used by aircraft black boxes.
But the Australian team leading the international search has warned there is no confirmed link to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
According to China’s Xinhua News Agency, the ship, Haixum 01, detected a signal with a frequency of 37.5 kilohertz per second. It was reported the sounds were heard for about 90 seconds.
The reported discovery comes as the batteries powering the black box from the plane are expected to expire as early as Monday.
The Chief Coordinator of the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston (Ret’d), said Australian authorities were seeking more information from the Chinese side and were considering deploying air assets to the detection area.
Today’s search will resume in three separate areas about 2000km northwest of Perth, totalling 216,000 square kilometres.
