I did not see any “new course” for the search mentioned in your excerpt.
It’s not an excerpt.
And yet the search for MH370 goes on, and in the coming weeks it will enter a new phase.
For months now, ships have been mapping out tens of thousands of square miles at the bottom of the Southern Indian Ocean, an area more unknown to man than the surface of the moon. This has been the preparatory work to a search using submarines that will begin in earnest in October. It will be focused on a 40,000 square mile “priority area” and will last up to a year.
