Another 122 objects, presumed to be from the missing Malaysian flight
MH370 were spotted by satellite. The images were taken on March 23rd, and as
assumed they might be from the missing plane that went missing on March 8th on
its flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
According to Malaysian acting transport
minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, the objects were spotted in a 400 sq km area
around 2,557km from............
Perth, Western Australia.
When the images were found on March
25th, the information was immediately handed to the Australian Rescue and
Co-ordination Centre in Perth.
"This is another new lead that
will help direct the search operation," Mr Hussein said.
Some of the objects, as it was
reported, seemed small, while others - up to 23 metres long. Some objects were
bright, which could possibly indicate them being of solid material.
No pieces have been collected yet and
it has not been informed whether any of the located objects is related to the
missing plane.
The search for the debris of the plane
is quite limited in time, as it has been already 18 days since the plane went
missing and the black box on it is to send pings to be located for 30 days
only. Moreover, according to official reports, the black box might be damaged
which could be bad for the search operation.
Furthermore, in order to find the
black box with the ping locator, the search group must have a pretty good idea
of where it might be. The black box is of huge importance as it might reveal
what really happened on that flight causing the lives of over 239 people.
