    It has been 11 days since the Malaysian flight MH370 went missing. 239 passengers were on board the plane. 154 of them were Chinese. China has moved its search further west into two vast air corridors.  [Special coverage]

    Eleven Chinese vessels are meeting in Singapore to team up for the mission. China has also mobilized 21 satellites to search for the missing jet.

    As for the international search effort, 26 countries are helping in the operation.

    Investigators have determined that the plane's last communication with the satellite was in one of the two corridors. The northern corridor stretches from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to Northern Thailand. And the southern corridor stretches from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. Australia says it's taking the lead in this search area.

    The Comprehensive Nuclear-test-ban Treaty Organization says its international monitoring stations have not detected any collision or air crash.
