Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 possible debris detected as the satellite spotted 300 floating objects, about 2, 700km south west of Perth.
As the hope of reuniting with the passengers of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 extinguished when it was confirmed by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak that the aircraft went down in a remote area of the Indian Ocean, a recent update from the Thai satellite was confirmed which showed 300 floating objects which could probably be the debris of the said plane.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was a scheduled international passenger flight that went missing on March 8, 2014. The said flight departed from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and was scheduled to arrive in Beijing Capital International Airport however; it didn't reach its destination. The aircraft carrying 239 people on board was reported to lost contact with the air traffic control less than an hour after it took off.
As the news of the missing aircraft broke off, joint search and rescue efforts were initiated coming not just from the Malaysian government but from the other nations as well. Speculations of hijack and possible terrorism were never out of the picture as the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went on.
Moreover, there were previous reports that military radar picked up an unidentified plane which made a sharp turn and descending to a much lower altitude before heading out into the Indian Ocean just after the aircraft lost contact with the air traffic control. On March 16 and 18, satellite images of possible aircraft debris were spotted in the southern Indian Ocean, southwest of Western Australia. Further possible debris was spotted on March 24 by the Australian and Chinese military.
Officials then concluded that beyond any reasonable doubt, the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 crashed in the southern Indian Ocean with no survivors. Prime Minister Razak made the announcement to the public ending the 17-day ordeal.
The Thai satellite spotted 300 floating objects which could be the possible aircraft debris on Thursday. The said objects ranges from two meters to sixteen meters long, about south west of Perth. Spotted objects were about 200 kilometers southwest where the French satellite spotted 122 objects on Sunday.
As images of the possible aircraft debris continuously emerge, none of the photographed debris was recovered by the ships searching the area. Search operations are complicated by the extreme remoteness of the area, high seas and bad weather condition.
