Mr Dolan confirmed that if the Boeing 777 was not discovered in that area, the search would not continue.

my initial reaction is that its too small to be a 777 wing part.

Simon Gruber Says · 29-07-2015 06:02PM

Perhaps a section of the inboard flaps? They're slotted and the trailing pice is relatively small.

hope so folks. families really need closure on this one and the world needs to know what the hell happened

L1011 · 29-07-2015 09:50PM

The Associated Press are claiming the part has been identified as a 777 part

If it is, it appears the only matching component would be a flaperon

Happyman42 · 29-07-2015 09:57PM

Will it have markings that will confirm?

It should have a serial number that Boeing should be able to match relatively quickly.

Wanderer78 · 29-07-2015 10:12PM

just made bbc news 24

homerjay2005 · 29-07-2015 10:31PM

Seems to be a 777 according to sources.

errlloyd · 29-07-2015 10:38PM

I know this is no discussion, but it seems to match the currents. Reunion is bloody tiny, so there is probably more out there nearby.

Photo of the part number on the piece of debris.

And here it is in the maintenance manual:

More debris turning up on Réunion:

And a water bottle:

Stuff washes up on beaches all the time - until it's more plane parts it's not worth speculating where it came from

No, but it's important to watch for it if it's the result of drift from a crash site. As you say, this could be just the usual flotsam from the ocean but it could also be the start of a flow of debris from the crash.

murphaph · 31-07-2015 06:55AM

Well if someone's passport washes up that might be interesting too.

rrpc · 02-08-2015 07:14AM

Sky News are reporting that a plane door has been found in a different location on La Réunion than where the flaperon washed up.

Not likely to be from MH370 (unless it was carrying a cargo of ladders)

VG31 · 05-08-2015 06:15PM

Debris is from MH370

And if a trail of debris stretches east, and then comes to an end..............?!

Try putting your passport in the washing machine with a good pinch of salt.

Interesting reading today that the kind of barnacles and their location on the wreckage could help determine the location of the crash site. They can work out the age of the barnacles and whether it was floating or submerged etc.. Sort of like a forensic anthropologist.

Except in no way related to anthropology

Forensic marine biologist perhaps?

Breaking news.

Synode · 06-08-2015 09:42AM

Over 500 days before a single piece of wreckage washed up. Puts the search for it into perspective

rrpc · 06-08-2015 10:23AM

Confirmed by everyone now that it's from MH370:

Malaysia Airlines would like to sincerely convey our deepest sorrow to the families and friends of the passengers onboard Flight MH370 on the news that the flaperon found on Reunion Island on 29 July was indeed from Flight MH370.
This has been confirmed jointly today by the French Authorities, Bureau d’ Enquetes et d‘Analyses pour la Securites de I’AviationCivile (BEA), the Malaysian Investigation Team, Technical Representative from PRC and Australian Transportation Safety Bureau (ATSB) in Toulouse, France and subsequently announced by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak.

My only experience of a field that deals with investigations relating to living things in this way was forensic anthropology or entomology.
But thanks..

Malaysia says it is sending a team of experts to the Maldives to investigate reports that debris from the missing Flight MH370 has washed up there.

BBC report

Good to see no stone being left unturned.

KoolKid · 10-08-2015 09:59PM

Great Reporting..

The Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people veered off its course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014.

Just veered a little off course.
Mystery solved.:rolleyes:
