The search teams look away from the ocean only occasionally to rest their eyes, as Jonathan Head reports
New
data from a French satellite shows potential debris from Malaysia
Airlines flight MH370 in the southern Indian Ocean, France's foreign
ministry says.
Radar echoes had picked up several objects about 2,300km (1,430 miles) from Perth, a statement added.
It is the third possible sighting in the area off western Australia that has become the focus of the search effort. Flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, with 239 people on board.
Malaysian officials believe the plane was deliberately taken off course.
Based on information received from a satellite, the search
has been in two distinct corridors - one stretching to the north-west of
the last known location in the Malacca Straits and one to the
south-west.
