Sepang: As the search and rescue (SAR) operations to locate the missing Boeing 777-200ER enter its third day today, the authorities have yet to make any headway in finding the ill-fated aircraft.
Addressing reporters here this morning, Department of Civil Aviation Director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the SAR teams were still working round the clock and comb the seas.
"Unfortunately, we have not found anything any objects belonging to the aircraft, let alone the plane itself," he said, adding that SAR efforts were intensifying.
Responding to reports that the Vietnamese team had spotted an object resembling a "door" belonging to the aircraft, Azharuddin categorically denied it."No object was picked up. There was another report claiming that the tail of the plane was found, but they were only logs tied together."
