Malaysia finds more plane debris on French island
A Malaysian search team has found more plane debris on a French Indian Ocean island, where a Boeing flaperon turned up last week, giving hopes of a clue to the destiny of the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
“As of today, we have found debris, but it is yet to be confirmed to be from MH370. We did collect some additional debris from the beach,” Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, state-run Turkish Anadolu Agency reported.
He said that “some wreckage, some sort of aluminum frame, some sort of broken pieces of material from a plane” had been found, but investigative teams still had to verify which plane they belonged to.
Carrying 227 passengers and 12 crews, Flight MH370 departed from the Malaysian capital for the Chinese capital city of Beijing on March 8, 2014. It, however, lost contact with Malaysia Airlines half an hour later and vanished mysteriously at night over the South China Sea.
On July 29, a two-meter long piece of wreckage was found by people cleaning up a beach of the French La Reunion Island, east of Madagascar, some 6,000 kilometers (3,730 miles) away from the last known location of the doomed flight.
French officials are now investigating whether the washed-up plane fragment is from the missing Flight MH370.
