March 20, 2014 10:25

Update from possible debris of Missing Malaysian plane 370: "The largest object sighted is 24 metres in length. The debris are of reasonable size and are bobbing up and down in the Indian Ocean," said Australia's Maritime Minister John Young, a spokesman for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

He said the objects were located in the southern Indian Ocean about 2,500km south-west of Perth on Australia's west coast.

"Weather conditions are moderate but poor visibility has been reported, which will hamper air and satellite efforts. What we're looking for is confirmation that it does belong to the aircraft or does not," he added.

When asked whether specific items such as plane windows were visible he replied: "The imagery is not that precise."
