The US navy has ordered a ship to the Indian Ocean to search for a missing Malaysian airliner amid reports the plane kept "pinging" a satellite after losing radar contact. Malaysian authorities expanded their search for the plane westward towards India, based on reports that it could have flown for hours after it last made contact. Dozens of ships and aircraft from 12 nations have been searching the Gulf of Thailand and the strait, but no confirmed trace has been found. The search area has grown to 92,600sq km. Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler reports from Kuala Lumpur.
