As the hunt for Flight MH370 hit week six Saturday, the Bluefin 21 unmanned sub began its seventh trip into the depths off the coast of western Australia.
Its search area forms a 10-kilometre circle around an underwater signal detected April 8 that was believed to be coming from the aircraft’s black boxes before their batteries died.
The sonar scan of the seafloor in that area is expected to be completed in five to seven days, the centre said in an email to The Associated Press.
