More on Flight MH370


The BBC has the latest:
A Thai satellite has detected some three hundred objects in an area of the southern Indian Ocean being searched for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
The images were taken by the Thaichote satellite on 24 March 2014, a day after images from a French satellite purported to show over a hundred floating objects.
Flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March 2014 with 239 people on board; no debris has been recovered from the ocean so far.
Searches by planes were suspended on Thursday because of poor visibility. Ships are trying to continue the operation despite the bad weather, Australian officials said.
The latest Thai images were carried in The Nation and were said to show some three hundred floating objects scattered over an area about seventeen hundred miles south-west of Perth, Australia. The objects were about a hundred and twenty miles from the site of the French satellite images.
The newspaper quoted officials as saying the information had been passed on to the Malaysian team involved in the search.
Anond Snidvongs, of Thailand's Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, told the BBC the objects ranged from two to fifteen meters in size. He said he could not confirm they were debris from the plane.
The French images showed objects up to 75 feet in length, and were the first to suggest a debris field rather than just isolated objects. They had been described as the most credible lead so far.
Rico says somebody's gotta get a ship there and pick something up...
