Search for missing flight MH370 continues

The search for the missing Malaysian airline MH370 continues, with new satellite images showing remains of debris in the Indian OceanThe most credible lead into the mystery of the missing flight was the 122 new satellite objects were spotted floating in the southern Indian Ocean on March 26^th 2014. The debris, with approximate lengths between 1 and 23 metres, were found close to where Chinese and Australian aircraft earlier sighted possible debris.

According to The Guardian, extra vessels and aircraft arrived in the search zone – around 1,500 miles (2,500km) south-west of Perth – on Wednesday, as crews resumed work after gale-force winds and heavy rain forced them to leave the area. But forecasters warned the multinational hunt might have to be suspended again on Thursday because of gales and storms. Twelve planes and two ships – Australia's HMAS Success and the Chinese polar supply ship – were covering the zone, with a South Korean aircraft joining the hunt for the first time.

In total, 470,000 square nautical miles of land was covered by the search for the missing flight. But despite possible sightings of debris in the ocean, no objects have been conclusively connected to the MH370, which disappeared on March 8^th. It is believed that the plane flew off course and crashed, resulting in the loss of all 239 people aboard. More than 150 of the passengers were Chinese.
