Malaysian Jets Update: Australian ship detects signals consistent with black boxes - CCTV

Australian navy ship Ocean Shield detected suspicious signals consistent with aircraft black boxes, chief coordinator for the search of missing Flight MH370, said on Monday. "The towed pinger locator deployed from the Australian defence vessel Ocean Shield has detected signals consistent with those emitted from aircraft black boxes," Angus Houston, former Australian defence minister who is heading the Joint Agency Coordination Center (JACC), told reporters.

Describing the new detection as "the most promising lead," Houston warned it has to be treated cautiously and responsibly until final determination is made. He said after Ocean Shield, equipped with U.S. towed pinger locator, heard the suspicious signals, the next stop is to fix the position and attempt to locate wreckage.
