A growing number of airplanes scoured the southern Indian Ocean on Sunday as the 16-day search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 continued, but the end result was frustratingly the same -- nothing.Buoyed by a third set of satellite data that indicated possible debris from the plane in the water, the international team led by Australia fought bad weatherearly in the day as it looked for signs of the missing Boeing 777 and the 239 people who were aboard.Eight aircraft and one ship conducted Sunday's searchand there were no sightings of significance, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a written statement.Four more jets -- two from China and two from Japan -- are set to join the reconnaissance team on Monday, the organization said.Earlier, French authorities passed on satellite data showing "potential objects in the vicinity of the southern corridor" of the search area for the plane, Malaysia's acting transportation minister said."Malaysia immediately relayed these images to the Australian rescue coordination center," Hishammuddin Hussein said.Satellite images previously issued by Australian and Chinese authorities have also pointed to possible largefloating objects, stoking hopes searchers may find debris from the missing plane.Sunday's search was a visual search, AMSA rescue spokesman Mike Barton told reporters. Eyes took precedence over radar. Four of the planes were civil aircraft, each with five volunteers from Australia who scanned the water.
