Search for flight 370. This morning, australias Prime Minister says hes confident that the signals crews are hearing under water are from the planes black boxes, and he says they could be within just a few miles of finding them. Also this morning, the search zone has narrowed once again, just 18,000 square miles. This is so much smaller than the area they were looking in before, this as they race against time to find the flight recorders before their batteries run out, if, in fact, they havent run out already.
