Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board.

The signal from its flight-data recorder lasts about 30 days.

The search teams are deploying a special tool known as a “towed ping locator” to find the recorder, which will be used once debris from the plane has been found.

Several floating objects have been found during the search in recent days, but none is believed to belong to the missing plane.
