Malaysian official: more airplane debris found on Reunion Island

“We appreciate the French team and their support and respect their decision to continue with the verification”, Liow said, adding that Malaysian experts were convinced the flaperon was from MH370 because a seal on the part matched a maintenance record and the paint was the same color.

Liow, who later specified he was referring to aircraft seats and windows, said it remained to be seen whether the items found on Reunion Island were debris from the missing Malaysian Airlines flight.

Debris found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean is “conclusively” from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak has confirmed. Experts from Australia, which is leading search efforts, say the plane flew over the Indian Ocean in a straight line for hours, suggesting that the autopilot had been re-engaged, before running out of fuel.

Chinese relatives of passengers aboard MH370 expressed anger and disbelief on Thursday, saying they had “serious doubts” over Kuala Lumpur’s announcement that a wing part found is from the aircraft.

Debris found on a remote island a week ago is from flight MH370, Malaysia’s prime minister said August 6, confirming that the plane which mysteriously disappeared 17 months ago met a tragic end in the Indian Ocean.

“We hope that President Xi can quickly help us rescue our people“, said Zhang Yongli, a 64-year-old whose daughter was on the plane.

“The very strong conjectures are to be confirmed by complementary analysis that will begin tomorrow morning”, Mackowiak said. However, they had very little evidence to prove their theory.

Martin Dolan, chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), said he was now “confident that we’re looking in the right area and we’ll find the aircraft there”. “I can not confirm that it’s from MH370”.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is in Malaysia for meetings with Southeast Asian counterparts, issued comments on the latest information about the mysterious plane disappearance as well.

“We owe it to the families of the people lost on that plane to try to solve the mystery”.

He said Malaysia remains dedicated to finding out what happened on board the flight.
