The Ghost Plane

According to The Guardian the quest of finding the MH370 plane from the Malaysian Airlines has become even harder to solve. According to the article it was said last tuesday that the searching range has grown 2.24 miles square. This means that the range where the plane could probably be in has the size of Australia. The main purpose of the Malaysian government it is to reduce the research range in order for the quest to be easy. The transport minister has declared "This is an enormous search area. And it is something that Malaysia cannot possibly search on its own" (Hussein), by saying this he refers that the help of others countries is need to find the missing plane.

It is believe that the plane did not disappear by coincidence,  but it was planned. The ideas that support this theory are that the plane was not tracked by the military radar and that it was not sure who was flying the plane in the moment when it disappears. According to the article there are over 26 countries working together to solve this mystery, Australia, Kazakistan, Laos, Indonesia, China, etc... Australia and Indonesia, are in charge of monitoring the south part of the range that is consider that the plane could be. Kazakistan and China are in charge of the northern part of the range. Kazakistan and Laos have declared that they have not found any records of the MH370 going through their airspace. The 10 day quest seem to not be close to an end, it is consider that even though with the help of other countries it could take couple of weeks to get to the bottom of the case.
