Malaysia finds new debris ‘most certainly’ from missing plane
- 8 years ago
Malaysia’s transport minister said Thursday the two new pieces of debris found in South Africa and Rodrigues Island off the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius are “almost certainly” from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
The plane initially went missing on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people aboard.
Five pieces of debris from the aircraft have now been found in different locations around the Indian Ocean.
A wing part discovered on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean last year was also confirmed to be from the missing aircraft.
The plane is suspected to have crashed about 1,000 miles west of Australia.
An extensive search has failed to find its fuselage or black boxes.
