Indian military forces searched hundreds of islands in the Andaman Sea for any signs of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 as efforts to finding the aircraft as turned to westward from aircraft’s origin Kuala Lumpur. India has now intensified it’s search by sending six ships, a handful of airplanes, and about one thousand people from India’s navy, coast guard and air force. Only 37 of the 572 islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are inhabited and the rest are covered by tropical jungles, which expands the search by having to search over five hundred islands. The coast guard has sent two Dornier aircrafts to fly over these islands slowly to observe carefully so that they don’t miss any possible of evidence of the plane. As Captain D.K. Sharma said, “This is like looking for a needle in that vast expanse of sea.” Even with many countries sending ships, aircrafts, and people this will still be a long process and take a lot coordination to find Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
