Flight 370: New Information

New information, data, points-the-finger at Flight 370 flew faster than first concluded, and ran out of fuel faster. So, a new area has to be searched, 680 miles to the north-east.

"We moved on" from the old search area, where pilots looked for Flight 370 about a week, Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

The change was in response to new information, Australian Maritime Safety Authority explained.

Where is the new information coming from?

The new information comes from the continuous analysis of radar data sent not long after Flight 370 lost communications and disappeared March 8th. Flight 370 headed to Beijing, carried 239 people and didn't stay on course after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.

The new information spells-out how Flight 370 traveled faster, used more fuel and the plane could not travel as far before ending in the Indian Ocean. Air-planes moving fast use up fuel quicker.

The hunt is on for the black boxes that will solve this real life mystery.

Without a doubt, the families are on a roller coaster of emotions.
