China Says It Has Seen New Possible Debris - Malaysian Minister
The Chinese government has spotted
possible debris in a satellite image of the southern search corridor and
is sending ships to investigate, Malaysia’s transport minister said
Saturday.
An object measuring 22
meters by 30 meters [72 feet by 98 feet] was seen by a Chinese
satellite, Hishamuddin Hussein told reporters at the daily news briefing
in Kuala Lumpur on the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight
370.
China would be making an announcement later and was sending ships to the area to investigate, Hishamuddin said.
Chinese
state television posted a picture on Twitter of a satellite image that
it said showed the object. The image could not immediately be verified
by NBC News.
The development was revealed in a
dramatic fashion at the end of an otherwise routine media briefing, when
Hishamuddin was passed a note by an official. “All I know is what is in
this note,” he said, holding up the scrap of paper.
It
is only the second possible sighting of debris in the two-week long
hunt for the missing Boeing 777, and came as an international air and
sea hunt was already underway for debris 1,400 miles off the west coast
of Australia – the very end of the southern search corridor.
