Missing MH370: French Satellite Images Show Possible Debris
France has new satellite images showing possible debris in southern search zone, Malaysia said Sunday.
“This
morning, Malaysia received new satellite images from the French
authorities,'' Malaysia's transport ministry said in a statement.
"Malaysia immediately relayed these images to the Australian rescue
co-ordination center.''
The ministry did not
give any other details on the satellite images, but the Australian
Maritime Safety Authority said it would soon release the pictures.
The
latest lead comes as the international search for Malaysian Airlines
Flight MH370 entered its third week, with still no confirmed trace of
the Boeing 777 that vanished with 239 people on board.
"This
morning, Malaysia received new satellite images from the French
authorities showing potential objects in the vicinity of the southern
corridor," the Malaysian Transport Ministry said in a statement.
An international air and search
resumed Sunday, zeroing in on two areas some approximately 1,500 miles
southwest of Perth in an effort to find the object identified by China
and other small debris including a wooden pallet spotted by a search
plane on Saturday.
"The weather
in the southern Indian Ocean is much clearer today than the past couple
days, allowing for the full spectrum electronic and visual of search
capability," Commander William J. Marks, spokesman for the U.S. 7th
Fleet, said in an email, according to Reuters.
Earlier, the commander
of an Australian navy ship involved in the search said its crew was
“acutely aware” that families are anxious for news. “We see it as our
role to do whatever we can to provide them the answers they deserve,” HMAS Success commanding officer Captain Allison Norris said.
