Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 search off Australia ends for day as crews reach site of objects
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 search off Australia ends for day as crews reach site of objects - NY Daily News

The automobile cargo vessel 'Höegh St. Petersburg' reached an area southwest of Australia where possible debris of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 have been spotted.

Search crews battled rainy and foggy conditions Thursday night as they zeroed in on the best lead so far about 1,500 miles off the west coast of Australia in the case of a Malaysia Airlines plane missing for nearly two weeks.

By about 8 p.m. in Perth, Australia, a Norwegian ship had reached the site of two pieces of floating debris, one measuring about 79 feet, and second being about 16 feet in length.

But the search was called off for the day as darkness fell. Crews fruitlessly examined some 8,800 square miles Thursday.
The search is expected to resume Friday morning.

Maybe the floating island of garbage will get cleaned up a little in the process.

The ocean is some several thousand meters deep in the search area, Young said at the press conference.
And the debris could be the plane — or a piece of sea trash, like what was found off Vietnam shortly after the plane went missing.
