A Chinese ship involved in the hunt for the missing Malaysian jetliner reported hearing a "pulse signal" Saturday in southern Indian Ocean waters with the same frequency emitted by the plane's data recorders, as Malaysia vowed not to give up the search for the aircraft that disappeared March 8.
The Australian government agency coordinating the search said early Sunday that the electronic signals reportedly detected are consistent with those of an aircraft black box. But retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, the head of the agency, said it "cannot verify any connection" at this stage between the signals and Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Military and civilian planes, ships with deep-sea searching equipment, and a British nuclear submarine scoured a remote patch of the southern Indian Ocean off Australia's west coast, in a hunt for debris and the black box recorders that hold information about the flight's last hours. - AP
