MH370: More aircraft debris found on Reunion island
However, they note that MH370 was the only missing Boeing 777, and it was “highly” probable the wing belonged to the doomed airliner.
Lai said Thursday that a Malyasian team “told us that they have managed to collect more debris at the island” – including a plane window and some aluminum foil.
“I don’t believe this latest information about the plane”.
Chinese relatives staged a protest outside the airline’s Beijing offices.
Liow said differences with other countries amounted to “a choice of words”.
France has a legal involvement in the investigation because it lost four citizens in the incident. “Only that, for us, will be full closure”, said Jacquita Gonzales, wife of MH370 chief steward Patrick Gomes. “We can only hope the government and the relevant authorities will help us do this”.
Their doubts were based on a modification to the flaperon part that did not appear to exactly match what they would expect from airline maintenance records, according to the person, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and requested anonymity.
“I’m numb, I’m not sad”, she said.
On the other hand, Prime Minister Najib Razak said Wednesday a wing fragment found on the same beach just last week was “conclusively confirmed” by a team of experts to be from the missing aircraft. Najib Razak has said that 515 days after the jet vanished, he is finally able to confirm that the aircraft crashed into the sea. The French territory is thousands of kilometres from the area being searched for wreckage.
However, Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss said Australia respected Malaysia’s right to make that call, given that it is in charge of the investigation.
“Of course there [are] still some Is not dotted and Ts not crossed”.
“I am very angry – so angry that my hands and feet are cold”, said Ms Xu in central Beijing. “Why not wait and get everybody on the same page so the families don’t need to go through this turmoil?” And the waiting has not ended, even if debris suspected to be from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 offers new clues.

Malaysian investigators are part of a team now examining the flaperon in facilities in French Toulouse. Sun-ho, let’s start with the conflicting views over the plane debris between France and Malaysia.
Some gathered in Beijing on Thursday to demand further answers. “We owe it to the travelling public, who obviously want to be confident of their safety in the air”, Abbott told a local radio station, The Australian newspaper reported.
Prior to the discovery, a massive surface and underwater hunt in the southern Indian Ocean had failed to find the plane.
Now investigators will reportedly turn their focus to the area around Reunion Island to determine if the remainder of the flight is buried somewhere beneath the Indian Ocean.
