The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory Commission (CTBTO) report based in Austria has given new hope in the search and rescue (SAR) operation of MH370 that has been missing since March 8.
The Star reported that the extremely sensitive CTBTO censors throughout the world had not detect any explosion or crash on both land or sea since the disappearance of the plane 12 days ago.
CTBTO executive secretary, Lassina Zarbo said that a plane crash could be detected using three out of four of of the technologies used by the International Monitoring System.
“Our data could potentially shed light on the whereabouts of flight MH370. We owe it to the anxious families waiting for news of their loved ones that this potential is used to its fullest,” he said on the CTBTO website.
Though the system is put in place to detect nuclear explosions, the technology can also be used to detect plane crashes both on land and in water.
In the past, the CTBTO station has in the past detected several plane accidents, including the crash of an aircraft at Narita Airport, Japan on March 2009.
The Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Boeing 777-200ER was on route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared from radar on Saturday.
At present, Malaysia has received international humanitarian help from 26 countries who are helping to find and detect the aircraft in their respective territories.
The SAR that was launched since the first day the plane went missing is the biggest and longest search effort in Malaysian history.
