Day 47 — Object of interest

Unidentified material that has washed ashore in southwestern Australia is being examined for any link to the lost Malaysian plane. Police secured the metal item, which washed ashore near Augusta, on the country’s southwestern coastline. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau is examining photographs to assess whether further investigation is needed and if the material is relevant to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.










Next day the Australian authorities revealed that the "object of interest" found on the coast of western Australia is not related to the lost plane.
