WASHINGTON (Reuters): The U.S. military has spent more than $3.3mil (RM10.79mil) on the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and has put in place plans that nearly double the original $4 million available for the hunt, a Pentagon spokesman said on Wednesday.
Army Colonel Steve Warren said the Defense Department spent $3.2 million (RM10mil) between March 8 and March 24 on the initial search for the Boeing 777-200ER, which went missing more than three weeks ago during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
