...“I have been advised that a series of sounds have been detected by a Chinese ship in the search area," said the Australian Chief Coordinator of the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston.
"The characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft black box. A number of white objects were also sighted on the surface about 90 kilometres from the detection area.
"We are working in a very big ocean and within a very large search area, and so far since the aircraft went missing we have had very few leads which allow us to narrow the search area.
"I assure you that we will follow up and exhaust every credible lead that we receive."
Malaysia's civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, confirmed that the frequency emitted by MH370's black box was 37.5 kilohertz and said authorities were trying to verify the report.
The reporter, speaking to Chinese broadcaster CCTV, said the signal was first detected on Friday, intermittently for about 15 minutes. But then it was detected again Saturday morning, every second for 90 seconds.
The area where the supposed pulse was detected is an underwater mountain range similar to the Usambara mountains, up to 8,200 feet in depth.
Australian Defence Minister David Johnston had earlier urged caution. "This is not the first time we have had something that has turned out to be very disappointing," he told ABC television...
After nearly two months of fruitless searching, the multinational team investigating the disappearance of MH 370 says it will re-examine all gathered data and will meet Wednesday to discuss the acquiring of new underwater search equipment
All data gathered in the nearly two-month hunt for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 will be re-examined to ensure investigators are looking in the jet’s most likely resting place, officials said on Monday.
A trilateral meeting between Malaysian, Chinese and Australian representatives discussed how best to proceed with finding the Boeing 777, which vanished shortly after departing Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8 with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.
Pioneering analysis of maintenance data transmissions by British satellite firm Inmarsat indicate the 200-ton, twin-engine aircraft crashed around 1,000 miles northeast of Perth, Western Australia.
But after 334 air missions to scour 1.8 million sq. mi. (4.6 million sq km) of ocean, combined with a combing of 121 sq. mi. (314 sq km) of the seabed by underwater drone, not a single trace of the missing plane has been discovered.
“Unfortunately all of that effort has found nothing,” Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss told assembled media in Canberra. “The operation must now enter a new phase.”
Operations will now be expanded to examine 23,000 sq. mi. (60,000 sq km) of ocean floor using more assets — most likely both towed side-scan sonar and unmanned submersibles — the acquiring of which will be discussed on Wednesday, but will likely be from private contractors.

The 'pings' thought to have emanated from missing Flight MH370's black box recorders might actually have come from satellite tracking devices tagged to marine animals such as sharks and turtles, it has been claimed.
The suggestion, put forward by archaeologist and writer William Meacham, raises the prospect that search authorities are looking in the wrong place for the plabe, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.
Writing in the Malaysian Insider, Mr Meacham, who is affiliated with the University of Hong Kong, said: "For several decades, pingers with frequencies of 30 to 50kHz have been commonly used to track large, deep ocean animals.
"Location and other data is transmitted to receivers in the ocean or to satellites whenever the animal surfaces.
"Acoustic pingers are also widely used as fishing net protectors, to drive away predators that would steal fish."

This route had been closed by the Ukrainian authorities from ground to flight level 320 but had been open at the height level at which the aircraft was flying.

Russell, I am going to be a bastard and say that any death is a tragedy for that person and their family, whether you know the person or not.
