澳大利亚官员说,一艘海军舰只又探测到与马航失踪客机黑匣子相符的信号。
 
搜寻行动负责人休斯顿星期一在珀斯对记者说,星期日的这一进展是在印度洋海域搜寻这架波音777客机以来“最有希望的线索”。
 
休斯顿强调指出,还需要进一步对此加以证实,这可能需要几天时间,但美国海军脉冲信号探测器捕捉到的信息非常令人鼓舞。
 
休斯顿说,澳大利亚军舰“海洋之盾号”拖曳的探测器捕捉到的信号持续了两小时20分钟,后来又持续了13分钟。休斯顿表示,这些信号与失踪客机黑匣子以及驾驶舱录音器发射的信号相符。
 
休斯顿说,一旦确定了信号最后发射的大致位置,就将派出自动水下航行器展开调查。
 
Australian officials say a navy ship has detected new signals "consistent" with the black box data recorders of the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet.

Search chief Angus Houston told reporters Monday in Perth the development during the past day is the "most promising lead" so far in the search for the Boeing 777 in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia.

He emphasized that further confirmation is needed, which could take days, but he described the information picked up by the U.S. Navy ping detector as "very encouraging."

Houston said the detector towed by the Australian ship Ocean Shield had contact that lasted two hours and 20 minutes, followed by another contact of 13 minutes.  He said this would be "consistent with transmissions from both the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder."

Once a general position of the latest signals is confirmed, he said an underwater autonomous vehicle can be sent to investigate.
