Debris found around Mozambique.

'High possibility' debris is from a Boeing 777, but no MH370 link yet

Malaysia's transport minister said Wednesday there is a "high possibility" that a piece of debris found on a sandbar off Mozambique is from a Boeing 777 but more investigation is needed to determine whether it is from the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 that disappeared two years ago with 239 people aboard.

New MH370 conspiracy: Was Mozambique debris planted?


SOMETIMES truth is stranger than fiction but the circumstances surrounding the discovery of a possible second piece of debris from MH370 are bizarre enough to worry both the rational and the conspiracy minded.

US blogger and amateur MH370 sleuth Blaine Alan Gibson found the part, which is believed to be from an aircraft’s horizontal stabiliser, on a sandbank in the Mozambique Channel at the weekend.

I think it was planted. Two years in the ocean and no barnacles. Sell that paint to all the boat manufacturers. My bosses boat had barnacle resistant paint and it still had to be scraped every three months or so, and stripped and repainted every 18 months.

Maybe planted Bob. The part is out for testing. We shall see what happens.

MH370 disappearance still a mystery two years on

MH370 search: Investigators remain 'hopeful' on anniversary

Malaysia and Australia say they remain "hopeful" that flight MH370 will eventually be found, two years on from its disappearance.

The aircraft disappeared between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing on 8 March 2014 with 239 people on board.

Australian-led search teams are combing a 120,000 sq km (46,330 sq mile) area of the southern Indian Ocean.

Only one confirmed piece of debris, a part of wing called a flaperon, has been found, on Reunion Island.

MH370: debris found by teenager on holiday to be tested in Australia

A piece of wreckage found on a beach by a South African teenager is to be sent to Australia for testing to see if it comes from the Malaysia Airlines plane which disappeared two years ago and was presumed lost over the Indian Ocean.

Liam Lotter, 18, found the metre-long chunk while on holiday in Mozambique and took it home. He only made the connection with flight MH370, which vanished with 239 passengers and crew on board, after reports last week that other debris washed up in Mozambique could be from the plane.

If the airliner hit the water hard enough those may be the biggest pieces of the debris. If so there may be no main body of wreckage to find and the crew and passengers all became fish food.

Which might be expected. Depending on what mode the autopilot was in when the fuel ran out it would have stalled the airfoils which would result in a fairly rapid uncontrolled descent.

A piece of debris found on a beach in South Africa will be analysed to see if it belongs to missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, authorities have said.

Malaysia said it would send a team to retrieve the possible piece of aircraft engine inlet cowling, which was found near Mossel Bay, a small town in Western Cape province on the southern coast.

Another major find.


Major find: This piece of suspected aircraft wreckage found on Rodrigues Island is believed to have come from the business class cabin of MH370. If proven it will be the first internal part found.

Suspected fragment of MH370 business class cabin found on Rodrigues Island, east of Africa

A FRAGMENT believed to have come from inside the cabin of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been found on an island in Mauritius, east of Africa.

MH370 Independent Group expert Don Thompson saw photographs of the part and said it appeared to match the bulkhead of an MAS Boeing 777 business class cabin.

With all these scattered fragments one might assume there may be no plane to find because it disintegrated.

Excepting finding any evidence of an explosion, or structural failure.

Only the recovery of the 'Black Boxes', will have any meaning.

Which is on the bottom of the sea...

Debris from MH370. Still need the black boxes.

Debris gives new clues to MH370 disappearance

Investigators looking for the missing Malaysian airliner, flight MH370, have identified two pieces of debris that are "almost certainly" from the plane.

Unique stencilling has been the key to identifying the parts.

The bits of debris, one from the tailplane, one from the wing flap, were found 130 miles apart on beaches in Mozambique.

The search team in Australia has now released photos that give an eerie clue to the fate of the flight.

Two pieces of text are stencilled onto the parts, one says "NO STEP", the other says "676EB". Investigators say they are clearly in the same font and design used by Malaysian Airlines.

MH370 search: flight recorder found in Somalia not from missing plane

A flight recorder found washed up on a Somali beach is not from the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

The orange, spherical object was found on a beach near the coastal town of Gara’ad by a local businessman identified only as Gaashaanle Ciiraale, Somalia’s Jariiban News Network reported on Thursday.

MH370 search: New debris find 'of interest'

Three newly found pieces of debris are "of interest" in the search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, Australia's transport minister says.

Darren Chester said two of the fragments were found in Mauritius, with another in Mozambique.

They are expected to be brought to Australia to be examined by experts.

"The Malaysian government is yet to take custody of the items, however, as with previous items, officials are arranging collection," he said.
