MH370: Malaysian plane search resumes

MH370: Malaysian plane search resumes
An international search of the southern Indian Ocean has resumed for a second day as authorities try to locate a missing Malaysian airliner.
Five military and civilian aircraft are taking part in the search for debris from flight MH370, which disappeared on 8 March with 239 people on board.
Satellite images released on Thursday showed objects possibly related to the plane in waters far south-west of the Australian city of Perth.
Bad weather hampered Thursday's search.
Flight MH370 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it lost contact with air traffic controllers and disappeared from radar.
Satellite data has led to a search in two corridors to the north and south of its last known location in the Malacca Straits - the opposition direction from
its flight path.
Malaysian officials say they believe the plane was intentionally diverted. Authorities in many countries have scrutinised the backgrounds of both passengers
and crew on board but say they have no substantive leads.
Other reports of debris to date have proved not to be linked to the missing plane.
Bad conditions

The debris which is the current focus of the search was identified on satellite images by Australian experts.
