Desperate. The underwater search has been continuing around the clock. So far, though, nothing. Today, australias ocean shield, the ship that heard pings over the weekend is at the northern end of the defined search area. And at the south, the chinese ship haixun 01 which also believes it heard pings over the weekend, which by definition would be unrelated because theyre hundreds of miles apart. The british ship hms echo is joining the search. Its been two days since searchers on the ocean shield believe began at the north came from the planes black boxes.
