They made a mess of the rescue, first 24-48 hours are critical.

That report makes it sound like they handed control of the rescue to a class of 5 year olds:

A source close to the matter told CNA that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications had suggested that the rescue center send helicopters to search an area where nine of the 10 emergency signals from the aircraft had originated. However, the center remained focused on searching the area where the aircraft was last seen before it disappeared from radar, the source said on condition of anonymity.
