FYI: It is not breaking news that the search for MH370 continues, and that they’re expanding the search to other areas.

It’s only breaking news if they actually find something tangibly linking the item to the plane itself.

CNN keeps playing headline games, even though there’s no actual news here. Yes, the US equipment to detect the black boxes is being used now, but it’s only really useful if it’s near the vicinity of the boxes. And right now, no one knows where that is, even with all the expert guesses and analysis of the paltry data we’ve been treated to over the past month.

So, to answer the CNN question of “will it help?”, the answer will be not likely without being closer to where the plane went down.
