Crews will now conduct a thorough search of the ocean floor over a much larger area — 60,000 square kilometers. The process could take at least six to eight months.

“The aircraft plainly cannot disappear. It must be somewhere,” Abbott said. “We do not want this crippling cloud of uncertainty to hang over this family and the wider traveling public.”
