                    Search Resumes for Missing Malaysian Jet

   Australia has sent search planes to the remote southern Indian Ocean as
   efforts resumed Friday to locate possible debris from missing Malaysia
   Airlines Flight 370.
   An Australian satellite spotted two large pieces of what investigators
   say could be part of the plane. One piece is about 24 meters long and
   another one is five meters long. The pictures were taken earlier this
   week and were released Thursday.
   The debris is thought to be about 2,500 kilometers southwest of the
   Australian city of Perth.
   Darkness, clouds, and rain prevented rescue planes from seeing anything
   on Thursday.
   A Norwegian cargo ship happened to be near the area when news of the
   debris was announced, but failed to spot anything during a night-long
   search.
   The Malaysia Airlines jet with 239 people on board disappeared March 8
   during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. So far, there has been no
   signs of the plane or any firm clues of what happened to it.
   Investigators are not ruling out anything, including catastrophic
   mechanical failure or terrorism. But they say it is possible that
   someone who knew what he was doing caused the plane to fly far off
   course
   Twenty-six nations have been hunting for the plane across an area
   covering more than 7 million square kilometers, from Kazakhstan to the
   southern Indian Ocean.
   Most of the passengers were Chinese. Their families are extremely
   frustrated with the investigation, accusing Malaysian authorities of
   lying. Police forcibly carried out hysterical and sobbing relatives
   from a government briefing on Wednesday.
