Search for missing plane continues KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Ships, helicopters and planes from a dozen nations widened the hunt for a missing Malaysian airliner Wednesday after newly divulged radar data suggested that the aircraft veered hundreds of miles off course before vanishing. The information prompted the Malaysian government to ask India to join the search on the theory that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 might have flown west toward the Indian Ocean after it vanished from civilian air-traffic control systems at 1:30 a.m Saturday en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.China, which has expressed mounting frustration with the Malaysia-led investigation, announced Monday that it had deployed 10 satellites to help in the search. Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia’s defense minister and acting transport minister, said 42 ships and 39 aircraft were scouring more than 35,000 square miles to the east and west of the Malay Peninsula for the aircraft.
