China Releases Satellite Images Of Possible Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Crash Site (After Keeping The Images For Three Days)



Satellite Looking Into Missing Malaysia Flight Detects 'Suspected Crash Area' -- CNN

(CNN) -- A Chinese satellite looking into the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 "observed a suspected crash area at sea," a Chinese government agency said -- a potentially pivotal lead into what has been a frustrating search for the Boeing 777.

China's State Administration for Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense announced the discovery, including images of what it said were "three suspected floating objects and their sizes." The objects aren't small at 13 by 18 meters (43 by 59 feet), 14 by 19 meters and 24 by 22 meters.

The images were captured on March 9 -- which was the day after the plane went missing -- but weren't released until Wednesday.

My Comment: They have been holding these images since March 9 .... unbelievable. I know that I should not be surprise .... this is typical Chinese behavior .... never release information or intel unless told to. But still .... keeping it for three days .... c'mon.

2. This shows China satellite technical ability.
