Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Indian Ocean latest search area for the aircraft and its passengers. Six days after flight MH370 disappeared, the Indian Ocean may become the latest area that authorities will scour in an attempt to find the aircraft and her 239 passengers and crew that disappeared without a trace. Its my understanding that based on some new information thats not necessarily conclusive - but new information - an additional search area may be opened in the Indian Ocean, White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Thursday, without disclosing the nature of the information. We are consulting with international partners about the appropriate assets to deploy, he told a press conference. He continued: There are a number of possible scenarios that are being investigated as to what happened to the flight. And we are not in a position at this time to make conclusions about what happened, unfortunately. But were actively participating in the search. Were looking at information, pursuing possible leads, working within the investigation being led by the Malaysian government, Carney added. His announcement follows a press conference in Kuala Lumpur where Malaysia’s Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said a search involving 12 nations and more than 80 aircraft and planes had still failed to uncover any trace of the Boeing 777. “There is no real precedent for a situation like this. The plane vanished,” he said. Mr Hussein strongly denied reports that data from the plane’s engines showed that it had flown for a further four hours from its last confirmed location and may have been intentionally diverted. Earlier, the Wall Street Journal reported that investigators in the US were examining whether the missing plane was “intentionally diverted” from its planned route.
