A software glitch on an unmanned submarine hampered the search for the missing Malaysian Air jet as the underwater hunt for wreckage approaches its third week.

The Bluefin-21 submersible was pulled from the Indian Ocean early during yesterday’s search and fixed overnight, Australia’s Joint Agency Coordination Centre said in a statement today. Now on its 14th mission, the vessel has combed 95 percent of an initial area without finding debris from MH370, the agency said.
