Search resumes for possible wreckage from MH370
By admin


The Australian-led search for possible wreckage from Malaysia Airlines’ missing flight MH370 that appeared in satellite images has resumed this morning with efforts concentrating on an area 2500km southwest of Perth.

Yesterday, four surveillance planes from Australia, the US and New Zealand searched a 23,000 square kilometre area for the debris depicted in satellite images which came to light on Thursday although they were taken on Sunday.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed that he had been informed of the possible objects in the southern India Ocean by Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott. But he was firm that although the sightings are promising, until the debris is found and its connection to the missing flight confirmed, authorities remain in the dark about what happened to MH370.

“Every effort is being made to locate the objects seen in the satellite imagery. It must be stressed that these sightings, while credible, are still to be confirmed,” he said.
