Malaysia confirms: debris of a Boeing 777 are similar to MH370

The aircraft debris found on a remote Indian island of belonging to a Boeing 777, similar to that of Malaysia Airlines disappeared without trace over a year ago with 239 people on board, today confirmed the Malaysian authorities.

The piece of wing found Wednesday on the island of Reunion, east of Madagascar, is a Boeing 777, said Malaysian Deputy Transport Minister Abdul Aziz Kaprawi, the newspaper "The Star".

The serial number of the fragment, "657 BB", proves, Kaprawi said after being informed by a spokesman of the Malaysian airline.

However, the deputy minister said that has not been proven that the parties "belonging to MH370."

Previously, the Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss, had noted that the remains are in a path consistent with the analysis of the possible path of the plane disappeared in 2014 but warned that it is unlikely to locate the rest of the apparatus.

"After 16 months, the sudden changes in current can prevent creating a reverse map (currents). So do not think that contributes a lot to know where the device is in the present, "Truss said in a press conference.

"The fact that the remains are on the island of Reunion ... is consistent with some of the maps made in relation to the movement of currents," he added.

Experts from Australia a country that leads the Quick Search tasks, had indicated shortly before they are "increasingly confident" that the remains found belong to the flight MH370.

"We are increasingly confident that it is a fragment of the MH370," said Martin Dolan, head of the Office of Transportation Safety of Australia.

The fragment is a "flaperon" an aircraft control surface located in the wing flap and spoiler acts as both.

Following the finding, experts hope to find clues to what happened with the Malaysian aircraft, which according to research deviated from "intentional" as its route between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing.

Dolan, however, echoed the comments of the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who advised caution to avoid creating false hopes were also made.

Malaysia Airlines plane would be the only Boeing 777 that crashed in the Indian Ocean.

Experts believe possible that, having crashed in the Indian Ocean, the ocean currents dragged some wreckage to Reunion, a French department located about 4,000 kilometers from where it is believed the incident occurred.

According to the digital environment of the island "Linfo.re" a bottle with inscriptions in Chinese and one Indonesian were found today near the beach where the piece of wing appeared.

At the site also it appeared yesterday a suitcase being analysed by researchers.

The "flaperon" and suitcase will arrive soon to a specialized laboratory of the French Air Force located in the French city of Toulouse to be analyzed.

Jospeh Poupin, an analyst at the French Naval Academy who examined the piece of wing, said the barnacles that have appeared on the subject are "Lepa anatifera" and whose size may have joined a year ago, according to "Le Journal de l ' ile "Reunion.

Families of the victims have reacted cautiously to the discovery of "flaperon" and other debris.

"I do not know what to think, but until proven, nothing. We just need to know if what we think is "summarized the Australian Kaylene Mann, who lost his brother and sister in the missing plane.

"First it was a joy and sadness then. Now is only up and down all the time, I do not know, "said Mann, according to the Fairfax Media group.

A group of family members, the most numerous in the missing plane, Chinese passengers yesterday asked warily and criticized the lack of information they received.

The Boeing 777 of the Malaysian airline disappeared March 8, 2014 only forty minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur and someone turned off the communication systems.
