Indonesia Plane Likely Spiraled Into Sea
A U.S. navy ship plans to start trawling the waters off Sulawesi Island with equipment designed to pick up the signal soon. Singapore also has contributed four sets of detectors to help in the hunt.
They have so far picked up no signals from the recorder.
No trace of the plane was found until early last week, when a fisherman pulled a section of the plane's tail from waters 300 yards off shore. Since then, food trays, life vests, pieces of tire and fuselage also have been found.
No bodies have been found, although a top search and rescue official, Eddy Suyanto, said Monday that fragments of human hair and what appears to be part of a scalp were recovered from one of the jetliner's headrests.
