MH370: AMSA unable to locate 24-meter debris

Cloud and rain is causing limited visibility and affecting the search operation for an object detected by satellites on the Southern Indian Ocean which could be a possible lead in locating the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370 flight.

An official tweet by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, @AMSA_News, stated that the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) P3 Orion was unable to locate the 24-meter debris.

However, other aircraft will be deployed to continue the search for flight MH370.
