A clue?
BEIJING, China (AP) — China’s official Xinhua News Agency says a government website has images of suspected debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
The report says the satellite images from the morning of March 9 appear to show “three suspected floating objects” of varying sizes.
The report includes coordinates of a location in the sea off the southern tip of Vietnam and east of Malaysia.
The report says the largest of the suspected pieces of debris measures about 24 by 22 metres.
The last communication received from a Malaysia Airlines plane suggests everything was normal
on-board minutes before it went missing over the South China Sea, Malaysian authorities say.
Flight MH370 replied “All right, roger that” to a radio message from Malaysian air control, authorities said.
The search has been widened to waters off both sides of the peninsula.
The China-bound plane went missing on Saturday with 239 people on-board. It vanished about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, as it flew south of Vietnam’s Ca Mau peninsula. No distress signal or message was sent.
