Fragments of a wing washed up in the French island of Reunion on Wednesday and according to air crash investigators, they have 'a high degree of confidence' it could be wreckage from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on 8 March 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing China. Flight 370 last made voice contact with air traffic control at 01:19 MYT (17:19 UTC, 7 March) when it was over the South China Sea, less than an hour after takeoff. The aircraft disappeared from air traffic controllers' radar screens at 01:21. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, was carrying 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 15 nations.[7]
Since the Boeing 777 was introduced in 1994, there have been five incidents - including MH370 - which have led to the destruction of the aircraft. MH370 is the only aircraft of its type which has vanished over the sea.
Investigators say there is a unique element to the Boeing 777's flaperon, a wing component, that Boeing observers believe they are seeing in photos.
