AP News in Brief
Search for downed Flight 370 resumes in calmer seas as frustration mounts for relatives
• PERTH, Australia (AP) -- The desperate, multinational hunt for Flight 370 resumed Wednesday across a remote stretch of the Indian Ocean after fierce winds and high waves that had forced a daylong halt eased considerably.
• A total of 12 planes and five ships from the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand were participating in the search, hoping to find even a single piece of the Malaysia Airlines jet that could offer tangible evidence of a crash.
• Malaysia announced earlier this week that a mathematical analysis of the final known satellite signals from the plane showed that it had crashed in the sea, taking the lives of all 239 people on board.
• The new data greatly reduced the search zone, but it remains huge -- an area estimated at 1.6 million square kilometers (622,000 square miles), about the size of Alaska.
• "We're throwing everything we have at this search," Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Nine Network television on Wednesday.
