Planes swarm into jetliner search area

Aircraft from many nations are swarming into a search area in the Indian Ocean where two objects have been found which might be related to the missing Malaysian Airlines jetliner. This after Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott told the House of Commons that the objects has been spotted by satellite and verified as physically real. But the images are indistinct, the prime minister said. He stressed that they may not in fact be related to the missing passenger jet and that the objects will be hard to find in any case. One object is said to be as long as 24 metres (62 feet) with the other object smaller. They were first seen by the Australian Geo Spatial Service. The zone being searched is 1,429 miles from Perth on Australia’s west coast. The ocean depths at this location is said to be very deep, possibly as much as 13,000 feet.
