MH370 Search: Oil slick not from aircraft, says JACC


PETALING JAYA: The oil slick detected by the Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield is not from an aircraft, said Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) chief coordinator Angus Houston.

"Preliminary analysis of the sample collected by ADV Ocean Shield has confirmed that it is not aircraft engine oil or hydraulic fluid," said the retired Air Chief Marshal in a statement issued on Thursday on the search for the wreckage of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
