Investigators searching for missing Malaysian Flight 370 say they've found no trace of the jet in the part of the southern Indian Ocean where acoustic signals were detected.
Officials say they've ruled out the area, even though they thought they had heard "pings" from the jet's black box. A robotic submarine found no sign of the plane after searching 330 square miles.
"We concentrated the search in that area because the pings, the information we received, was the best information available at the time and that's all you can do in circumstances like this, to follow the very best leads," Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss told Parliament in announcing the search's failure.
The search will be suspended for a couple months while more powerful sonar equipment is brought in to search a much wider area.
The airliner vanished March 8 with 239 people on board en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
