Mysterious plane wreckage found washed up on Reunion Island sparks MH370 speculation

Aircraft debris found on an island in the Indian Ocean is reportedly being checked to see if it is related to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

A member of the French Air Force told CNN the debris was found on Reunion Island, consisting of what appears to be a wing flap.

"It is way too soon to say whether or not it is MH370," says Adjutant Christian Retournat. "We just found the debris this morning in the coast of Saint Andre."

MH370 vanished on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers on board in March last year.

  2. Authorities study plane debris found off Madagascar for links to missing MH370...

    French authorities are studying a piece of plane debris found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean to determine whether it came from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished last year in one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history.

    A person familiar with the matter told Reuters the part was almost certainly from a Boeing 777, the type of aircraft operated by Malaysia Airlines on the ill-fated flight, but that it had not yet been established if it was a piece of the missing plane.

    France's BEA air crash investigation agency said it was examining the debris, found washed up on the French island east of Madagascar, in coordination with Malaysian and Australian authorities, but that it was too early to draw conclusions................reuters.com
