A military officer takes notes off Vietnam’s Tho Chu island aboard an aircraft belonging to the Vietnamese air force as the search for a vanished Malaysia Airlines passenger jet that was carrying 239 people entered its 3rd day Monday. About forty ships and 34 aircraft from nine countries are combing a vast area of ocean in the Gulf of Thailand and the South China Sea, and the search expanded Sunday into areas well beyond the plane’s intended flight path, into the Andaman Sea. |
