journal," u.s. investigators say data from flight 370 suggests the plane may have stayed in the air for about four hours after losing contact with air traffic control. the news comes as vietnamese and malaysian search crews once again scour the area in the south china sea, but failed to find debris captured on chinese satellite sunday. the image shows three suspicious objects floating in the same area as the plane's last known location. investigators are searching more than 27,000 nautical miles by land and air, including signals from the malaysian airliner jet. >> if the stingers are operating correctly and they're not buried in the mud or obscured by a lot of wreckage, they should be heard. >> the boeing 777 was enrote from kuala lumpur to beijing. >> the more time that passes the greater the possibility due to the intervening time, the wave action, the wind, the current that would have moved the
