French satellite images of debris in the southern Indian Ocean have raised hopes that the search for a missing Malaysia Airlines jet is getting closer to discovering the fate of the flight which disappeared two weeks ago en route to Beijing.
Malaysian authorities said images from a French satellite showed “potential objects” near the search area southwest of Perth, Australia.
They are the third set of satellite images of the area. The largest search for a missing airliner in aviation history shifted from the South China Sea to the southern Indian Ocean last week after Australia said images it had received from a US satellite company were a “credible” lead.
