WASHINGTON - A local company and its submarine are scouring the floor of the Indian Ocean for signs of the missing Malaysian plane.
Largo-based Phoenix International sent nine staff members and its Bluefin 21 autonomous underwater vehicle to Australia to help search for the black boxes from Malaysia Airlines 370, says Pete LeHardy with Phoenix.
The Bluefin made its second dive Wednesday in an area where pings from the boxes were heard before their batteries died. The sub is scanning the seafloor with sonar to map a potential debris field.

Anyone can remove the black boxes and dump them in the Indian Ocean along with debris from 370.Their timing was perfect.The boxes had just enough battery life left in them to verify that they were consistent with flight 370.Recharging those batteries before they were dumped overboard would have drawn suspicion.This operation will be labeled a raging success just as soon as the boxes are located and wreckage found.A few bodies might even be thrown in for good measure.
