Australian authorities are searching for survivors of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370 in the ocean off Perth.
Australian Maritime Search Authority (AMSA) spokesman John Young told a press conference that RAAF personnel were “doing their level best” to find and rescue any passengers who may have survived whatever happened to the plane.

He said several aircraft and vessels were on their way to an area in the Indian Ocean 2700km south-west of Perth after satellite images appeared to show objects – some as large as 24 metres in length – they suspected were the wreckage of the mystery plane.
Mr Young said the objects may be difficult to find and that they may not be related to MH370.
“The objects are relatively indistinct on the imagery,” he said. “I don’t profess to be an expert in assessing the imagery, but those who are expert indicate they are credible sightings.
“The indication to me is of objects that are a reasonable size and probably awash with water bobbing up and down under the surface.”
