Seven months after the Boeing jet disappeared with 239 people onboard, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, leading the hunt for the jet, said ongoing analysis had helped refine the zone where an underwater search began this week. Earlier, Australia focused the search on a zone 2,000 kilometers west of Perth.
