Thailand saw ‘plane’ radar blips 10 days ago

Investigators trying to find the missing Malaysian jetliner have received belated help from Thailand, whose military said it took 10 days to report radar blips that might have been the plane “because we did not pay attention to it”.

A coalition of 26 countries, including Thailand, is looking for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which vanished on March 8 with 239 people aboard a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Search crews are scouring two giant arcs of territory amounting to the size of Australia — half of it in the remote seas of the southern Indian Ocean.
