Authorities say three pieces of debris that washed up on a West Australian beach are not linked to missing flight MH370.


he three objects, one the length of a car with "distinct rivets", washed ashore 10km east of Augusta, about 320km south of Perth.
The debris was found by someone who was walking on the beach a few days ago and who notified police yesterday.

While the items recovered had initially appeared exciting Australian Transport Safety Bureau spokesman Martin Dolan told ABC radio this morning the items had not come from the missing plane.

"We've carefully examined detailed photographs that were taken for us by the police and we're satisfied that it's not a lead in the search for MH370," Mr Dolan said. "From our point of view, we're ruling it out."
"We'll get some further details just to be sure but at this stage we're not seeing anything in this that would lead us to believe that it comes from a Boeing aircraft."
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said yesterday the search would continue while there was a reasonable hope of finding something.
"Australia will not rest until we have done everything we humanly can to get to the bottom of this mystery," he told reporters.
