More suspected plane wreckage of MH370 found

With the part established as belonging to a Boeing 777, the same model as Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, investigators at the specialized center Direction Generale de l’Armement Techniques Aeronautiques will be focused on linking the wreckage to the doomed aircraft.

Before the part arrived in France, investigators had a high-degree of confidence that the flaperon was from a Boeing 777, and therefore most likely from Malaysia 370.

Mystery… volunteers search for more plane debris and items believed to be from missing plane MH370 on the shore in Saint-Andre, Reunion Island.

The Malaysian Airlines flight MH 370 was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. The flight’s mysterious disappearance, which saw it vanish off radars as a key transponder appeared to have been shut off, has baffled aviation experts and grieving families and given rise to a myriad conspiracy theories.

More debris has been found on La reunion island, however officials have not yet confirmed whether or not it is from the stricken MH370.

Flaperons are control surfaces on the wing of an aircraft that help to stabilise the plane during low-speed flying during take-off and landing.

The wreckage washed up on Reunion Island, off the coast of Madagascar.

The case containing the wing part will be opened early afternoon Wednesday, said a French source close to the case, in the presence of French and Malaysian experts, Boeing employees and representatives from China – the country that lost the most passengers.

A Malaysian search team has collected additional debris from a French island in the Indian Ocean following the discovery of a wing part believed to be from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The wreckage has been flown to France, where it will be analyzed by experts. Failure analysis engineers will use the attachments “to try to determine what kind of forces broke it apart and what direction those forces came from”, he said.

David Gallo, director of special projects at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, said the debris can not help narrow down the search area and it is almost impossible to locate where the plane crashed with reverse engineering.

A preliminary assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies suggested someone in the cockpit deliberately caused the aircraft’s movements before the Malaysian airliner disappeared.
