Some 57 ships, 48 aircraft and 13 nations are now taking part in the search and rescue mission, which has been expanded further east into the South China Sea and further out into the Indian Ocean. Indian officials confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that authorities had begun searching the 572 islands comprising the Andaman and Nicobar island groups using heat-seeking devices to help find the missing plane, and would likely extend the search to the Bay of Bengal.
I tried to link the google map of the Andaman Islands, but the new google seems to want me to log in, first. Nuts to them. I was surprised to see some pretty big islands between Thailand and India. Maybe some retirement opportunities? |
