Material washed ashore not from Malaysia Airlines MH370 : Australia

The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet continued for 48th day on Thursday the 24th April, 2014 without any fresh lead as an object washed ashore western Australian coast turned out to have no connection with Flight MH370.
Having examined the photographs of the object, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) concluded that the material that was found floating ashore 10 kilometres east of Augusta, "is not a lead" in the missing jet search, stated the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC).
Meanwhile, the underwater search drone continued its 12th mission today on 24th April, 2014 and Bluefin- 21 is said to have covered 90% of the underwater search area, said the JACC. The investigators had planned to start the underwater search in an area of 10 km radius around the second Towed Pinger Locator detection which occurred on 8 April, after the pings could not be traced to any black box. Despite having completed 11 missions underwater, the search drone Bluefin 21 has so far found nothing that could be of any interest to the missing flight.
