Possible debris off Australia a "credible lead" for missing Malaysia jet

 

 

SYDNEY/KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Aircraft and ships ploughed through dire weather in search of objects floating in remote seas off Australia that Malaysia's government called a "credible lead" in the trans-continental hunt for a jetliner missing for nearly two weeks. New Zealand's air force, whose P-3K2 Orion returned from a 2 1/2-hour search mission in the Indian Ocean early on Friday, said it had found nothing that could have come from the Malaysia Airlines (MASM.KL) Boeing (BA.N) 777 which disappeared on March 8.

 

"The crew never found any object of significance," Kevin Short, air vice marshal at New Zealand's Defence Forces, told Radio New Zealand. "Visibility wasn't very good, which makes it harder to search the surface of the water," he said, adding that the plane had flown at around 1,000 feet (300 metres) over the sea. The large objects which Australian officials said were spotted by satellite four days ago are the most promising find in days as searchers scour a vast area for the plane lost with 239 people on board.
