A Chinese satellite detected an object in the southern Indian Ocean that’s almost the width of an Olympic-size swimming pool, giving renewed impetus to the hunt for the Malaysian airliner that disappeared more than two weeks ago.
The image, taken on March 18, shows an object measuring 22 meters (72-feet) by 13 meters, according to a statement from China’s State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The item was located 120 kilometers from where possible debris was found by satellite two days earlier.
