The
global search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has its best new lead,
with possible debris spotted in water west of Australia.
Military aircraft and merchant ships
are racing to a position in the southern Indian Ocean about 2500 kilometres
southwest of Perth, where a satellite identified two floating objects.
One measured about 24 metres, while
the other one was smaller.
Australian authorities say they are
possible remnants of the Boeing 777 that went missing on a March 8 flight from
Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 239 people.
But John Young of the Australian
Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) was cautious not to raise hopes, saying the
satellite imagery shows "a sort of blob" with no features to
distinguish it as aircraft fragments.
"It's probably the best lead we
have right now but we have to get there, find them, see them, assess them to
know whether it's really meaningful or not," the emergency response
division manager said.
