Searchers fail to recover debris from Malaysia plane search

No debris spotted in an area off the west coast of Australia has been recovered, a Malaysian minister involved in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has said, adding he hoped for some news soon.

The first plane back from today’s search, a Chinese Ilyushin IL-76, spotted three floating objects, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported, a day after several planes and ships combing the newly targeted area closer to mainland Australia saw several other objects, including two rectangular items that were blue and grey.
