Malaysia Flight 370's Search Struggles

The latest advancements in the troubled quest for answers occurred yesterday, when a French defense firm identified new satellite images that displayed 122 objects floating in the southern Indian Ocean. The articles were located over 154 square miles. Malaysia Acting Transportation Minister Hishammuddin Bin Hussein confirmed this location as close to other related satellite sightings.

Mysteries are still surrounding even the search efforts. The Transportation Minister isn't sure if Australian officials organizing the quest Wednesday, had been able to confirm Airbus Defense and Space's most recent satellite graphics. Thailand and Japan stated today that they have submitted new satellite images to the nation, showing different debris areas that could be in relation to the missing jetliner.

CNN's Aviation Analyst Jeff Wise stated regarding the latest findings: "...very enticing....If you see something floating that's 60 feet across, that could be a big chunk of fuselage...But if you have 10 pieces that are 60 feet across, that would indicate that they're not from the plane, because the plane has only so much stuff in it". Australian search leaders had to cease air mission efforts earlier than noon today, due to choppy weather conditions. Six tankers are still currently working in the dismal surroundings. There is about zero visibility, tons of icing and turbulence, and clouds stretching to the water's surface.

Pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah's son has spoken for the first time on behalf of his family, since the jetliner went missing, on Tuesday. 26-year-old Ahmad Seth Zaharie spoke to the New Straits Times: "I've read everything online. But I have ignored all the speculation. I know my father better...We may not be as close, as he travels so much. But I understand him".

The lack of any concrete knowledge has relatives of the missing beyond horrified and frustrated. Many accuse those in charge of withholding and lying about what they really know, while others think that they aren't being rightfully informed of anything. All involved and the rest of the world continues to wait for concrete answers as to the whereabouts of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
