Flight MH370 :: Malaysia Airlines jet possible found in Indian Ocean

Two large objects bobbing in a remote part of the Indian Ocean are being investigated in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.

Four military search planes and ships from Australia, New Zealand and the US have been dispatched to determine if the objects are debris from the Boeing 777.

Australian officials said that the objects were spotted by satellite around 2,500km ( 1,500 miles) southwest of Perth in the vast oceans between Australia, Southern Africa and Antarctica. One of the objects spotted by satellite imagery had a dimension of 25m (82ft) and the other one was smaller.

A US spotter plane dispatched to the area, which is a four-hour flight from Australia’s south-west coast, has reportedly picked up a satellite signals, or ‘pings’, from a number of objects.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott had earlier told parliament about the debris but said locating the objects would be difficult. Poor visibility may also hamper the search efforts. He said ‘it may turn out that they are not related to the search for flight MH370’.

The Indian Government took the decision to deploy the aircrafts- C-130 and P-81 - after two objects were found floating there off Australian coast by search planes.

Flight 370 had 239 passengers and crew members on board when it disappeared on March 8 on a night flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing.
The Boeing 777-200ER was initially presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coas in the South China in Beijing at 06:30 a.m. the same day. The 227 passengers on board included 5 Indians, 154 Chinese and 38 Malaysians. Contract with the plane was lost along with its radar singnal at 01:40 a.m. when it was flying over the air traffic control are of Ho Chi Minh City. 
Meanwhile, China on Saturday i.e. on 22nd March, 2014 said that a satellite image showed a 22 metre long, 13 meter wide object in the Southern Indian Ocean.
