Malaysia Airlines 370's Hunt Intensifies

Quest workers began scouring the bottom of the ocean, in an attempt to determine the cause of the jetliner's disappearance, before its too late.

Eleven ships and fourteen airplanes worked during today's search, spanning over 84,000 square miles. The region's ocean is 6,500 feet to 13,000 feet deep. U.S. Navy Commander William Marks described to CNN: "Really, the best we can do right now is put these assets in the best location -- the best guess we have -- and kind of let them go...Until we get conclusive evidence of debris, it is just a guess".

The batteries that power the recorder's pingers only last 30 days from the time the location device is turned on. If the Boeing 777-200ER crashed into the water, its recorders' pingers are predicted to turn mute as early as this Monday.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott determined this missing jetliner search as the most difficult one "in human history". Officials are still unable to state why the plane traveled off course. Passenger Paul Weeks' wife Danica exclaimed to CNN: ""The hardest process for me is understanding that a commercial airliner can just go black... That someone can just turn off all communications, all matter of tracking an airliner, and it can just disappear. And this is the mystery".
