“We are reasonably optimistic of success, but if we don’t succeed in this search, there is another search that we intend to make because we owe it to the families of the dead, we it to the travelling public to do whatever we reasonably can to resolve of this mystery."
"We’ve got 60,000 square kilometres that is the subject of this search. If that’s unsuccessful, there’s another 60,000 square kilometres that we intend to search and, as I said, we are reasonably confident of finding the plane."
--- Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott
