Two objects that may possibly be wreckage from missing  Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 have been spotted floating in the southern Indian  Ocean.

The Australian government released pictures  taken by satellite on March 16 of possible plane debris seen around 2,500km  (1,500miles) southwest of Perth – one of the most remote areas of the planet  that’s a four-hour flight from the Australian coast.

One of the objects is estimated to be 24m/78ft in size, the other 5m/15ft, and the sighting of the objects was  said by Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott to be ‘credible and potentially  important’.

 The debris was spotted on satellite imagery and a total  of four aircraft have been sent to investigate the sighting, some 2,300km/1,553 miles off  the coast of Perth.

It is not uncommon for cargo to fall off a  container  ship into the water, however the objects were in the designated search area and the fact that there were two objects of varying sizes makes it important to locate and examine them.  The depth of the water in the area where the possible debris has been sighted would likely make recovering the CVR/FDR  data recorders to ascertain what happened on board  Flight MH370 extremely difficult but not impossible.

If this is where MH370 crashed, the waters here are 3,500m/10,000ft  (3.5km/2miles) deep. This is twice the depth that Air France Flight AF447 was found after crashing into the Atlantic Ocean on a flight from Rio De Janiero to Paris in 2009.

After considering all options associated with this flight, I am still off the opinion that a catastrophic event took place on board MH370, the crew tried return to Malaysia, but were overcome before they could save the aircraft, which flew on with autopilot engaged until fuel exhaustion occurred.
