KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia said Thursday it dispatched an aircraft to investigate the site where Chinese satellites photographed three “suspected floating objects,” near an area where several nations have been hunting for wreckage from a missing passenger plane.
“Bombardier has already been dispatched to investigate alleged claims of debris being found by Chinese satellite imagery,” Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said on his Twitter feed, on the sixth day of the search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370 and the 239 people on board.
