Ships, aircraft join search for missing plane

Members of a Chinese emergency response team get on board the rescue vessel "South China Sea Rescue 101" at the Sanya Port in Sanya city of south China's Hainan Province, March 9, 2014. The emergency response team sent by China's Ministry of Transport set out early Sunday morning from Sanya to sea area where missing Malaysia Airline flight MH 370 may have crashed. The rescue vessel "South China Sea Rescue 101" is carrying 12 divers and salvagers, and will join another rescue vessel "South China Sea Rescue 115" to the rescue site. The rescue work remains challenging as there is no exact location of the possible crash site and it will take about two days for the rescue ship to reach the water, said Zeng Ying, leader of the emergency team.
