Chinese Satellite Detects Spots That Might Be the Remains of the Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight [Video]

After almost a week of efforts to locate the Boeing 777 that disappeared on last Saturday over the gulf of Thailand, a Chinese government agency revealed a series of photographs taken by one of its satellites showing spots which might be the Malaysia Airlines flight.

The images were distributed on Wednesday by China's State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense and were taken last March 9, a day after the plane disappeared, although they weren't released until Wednesday, March 12.

According to a report published by The Guardian, the site on the images is not far away from the last point of confirmed contact with Malaysia Airlines flight MH-370.

So far, attempts to locate the missing plane have not given any results, which has generated anxiety among the families of over 200 passengers travelling in the Boeing 777 which took off last Saturday from Kuala Lumpur's airport towards Beijing.

According to a report from the Associated Press, accorinding to The Huffington Post, the search for the missing plane has encompassed 35,800 square miles in Southeast Asia and the search extended to India on Wednesday.

Likewise, the news agency details that the last message from the pilots did not show any problems or cause for alarm, which increases the mystery behind the disappearance. The airline told the families of the passengers that the plane's pilot had flown over the maritime border between Malaysia and Vietnam, a slight change in its flight route, and air traffic control was informed.

"Everything in order, good night," was the last message from the pilots to air traffic control before the plane disappeared from the radar.

In total, three objects were seen on the surface of the sea by the Chinese agency, measuring 43 by 59 feet, 46 by 64 feet and 79 by 72 feet, which might relate to the wingspan of a Boeing 777-200ER like the one that is missing, with a total length of 210 feet.

On the early morning of Saturday, the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 travelled from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers 12 crew members, when it unexpectedly lost contact with air traffic controllers.
