Australian authorities revealed the first report of the search mission of the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 Wednesday and stated that an area of about more than 670 square miles have been checked, however has not shown any signs.

The MH370, which had 239 passengers on board, was reported missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing last 8 March. Until today, there have been no signs that it has been found, despite all the search efforts, both aerial and ocean wide.

The deep sea search of the flight, a Boeing 777 model which is believed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean after it went off course from the scheduled flight route, is now being continued in the western areas of the Australian waters.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) that heads the mission said, that the GO Phoenix ship is currently actively undergoing the deep sea operations.

The deep sea search begun last October 6, uses a surveying and mapping of the sea bed method. As of now, about 127,000 square miles in the search zone has been mapped so far.

The sophisticated machinery that was connected to the ship and have been towed with a cable has been directed to scan the biggest part of the airplane, like engine and fuselage.

“GO Phoenix will continue this operation. There will be a time when the operation will take a break to examine the machinery that was towed, and to fix the connecting cable. But after that, the mission will continue,” said the spokesperson for ATSB.

GO Phoenix has the responsibility to search at this point of time, in a location that is believed to be the final location of MH370, based on the detailed analysis of the airplane’s satellite communication.

The second ship, Fugro Discovery, is currently undergoing a trial procedure and is expected to join the search mission mid of next week at the next location.
