Search refocuses near Australia
Search efforts refocus on the Indian Ocean near the Australian coast. An unnamed source says that the last satellite transmission from the plane has been traced to that area, about 1,000 miles west of Perth. For the plane to end up in that area of the ocean would have cost it nearly all of its fuel. However, the source says, the plane could have flown beyond that last location, and that location may not indicate the final destination of the plane.
