MH 370 : "Saya tidak akan sahkan apa-apa sehingga sesaorang melihat sendiri serpihan."
MH370: Koordinator Australia dedah penemuan terbaru 'Ocen Shield' .. eh! dia sindir Hishamuddin dan Najib ke ni?
Kapal pencari Australia menerima dua lagi isyarat dalam pencarian
pesawat MH370 yang hilang dan pihak pencari yakin boleh menemui serpihan
kapal ini dalam sehari dua ini, lapor AFP hari ini.
Koordinator pencarian ini, Ketua Marshal Udara (B) Angus Houston mengumumkan penemuan maklumat baru ini.
CNN pula melaporkan, kapal Ocean Shield mengesan isyarat itu yang sejajar dengan penentuan tempat pesawat itu - kedua-duanya pada Selasa, kata Houston.
Sehingga kini kapal itu telah mengesan empat isyarat dari kawasan yang luas itu: dua Sabtu lepas dan dua lagi pada Selasa.
"Saya yakin kita mencari di kawasan yang betul tetapi kita perlu mengenalpasti gambar serpihan sebelum kita boleh sahkan dengan yakin ini adalah tempat terakhir MH370," kata Houston seperti yang dilaporkan oleh CNN.
Bagaimanapun, kata Houston: "Saya tidak akan sahkan apa-apa sehingga sesaorang melihat sendiri serpihan."
Hari ini adalah hari ke 33 pencarian pesawat MH370 itu yang hilang dari radar pada 8 Mac dengan membawa 239 di atasnya.
"Kita perlu kekalkan keyakinan dan bertanggungjawab," kata Kaptan Mark M. Matthews dari Navy Amerika Syarikat, memberitahu CNN.
"Kerana kita tidak mahu memberikan harapan palsu."

Missing Malaysia Airlines plane: two more pings detected in search for flight MH370
Two more pings have been detected by the Australian ship Ocean Shield in the search for flight MH370.
Air Chief Marshal (ret) Angus Houston, the head of the search's Joint Agency Co-ordination centre, announced the "promising" development during a press conference in Perth on Wednesday afternoon.
It revives hope the missing Malaysia Airlines plane's black box is still transmitting data days after its batteries were due to run dead.
Mr Houston said expert data analysis on previously detected signals had found they were not of natural origin, further boosting hopes of a breakthrough.
Mr Houston said experts believed the signals were consistent with those of a flight data recorder.
He said the first two pings - detected on April 5 at 4.45pm and at 9.27pm Perth time - had been analysed by the Australasian Joint Acoustic Analysis Centre, based at HMAS Albatross in Nowra, on the NSW south coast.
''The analysis determined that a very stable, distinct and clear signal was detected at 33.331 kilohertz, and that it consistently pulsed at a 1.106-second interval,'' Mr Houston said.
''They therefore asses that the transmission was not of natural origin, and was likely sourced from specific electronic equipment.
They believe the signals to be consistent with the specification and description of a flight data recorder.''
He said two latest pings were detected on April 8 - at 4.27pm and 10.17pm, Perth time.
Mr Houston said up to 11 military aircraft, four civil aircraft and up to 14 ships would assist in Wednesday's search, while the Ocean Shield would also conduct a sonar voice search.
The search area had been reduced to about 75,000 square kilometres, he said, which was a considerably smaller area than in previous days.
''Based on Ocean Shield's detections, we are now searching a much more concentrated area based on the drift predications made possible by Ocean Shield's detections,'' Mr Houston said.
''The smaller area has also allowed us to plan much tighter search patterns based entirely on visual search principles. In other words, we have intensified our search in the visual search area.''
