Almost six months after Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 went missing, authorities found a new clue to the aircraft's possible location in the Indian Ocean.
During the March 8 flight, there was an attempted satellite phone call to the plane by ground staff, according to NBC reports. The call is significant because it indicates that the plane turned south earlier than investigators thought.
"The search area remains the same but some of the areas, some of the information we now have suggests to us that areas a little further to the south ... within the search area, but a little further to the south may be of particular interest and priority," Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss tells NBC.
Authorities believe the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean after going off-course far off the west coast of Australia, according to Telegraph. Since the tragedy involving 239 people who were onboard the plane, authorities have been on a continuous search for clues in the air and underwater. No wreckage has been found thus far.
