Mauritius And South Africa Debris 'Almost Certainly' From Missing Plane

comments
by By Matt Payton for Independent.co.uk / 2 years ago / International News  Transport  

Two pieces of debris found in South Africa and on Rodrigues Island near Mauritius ware "almost certainly" from missing flight MH370.

The two pieces now brings the total number of pieces thought to come from the missing Malaysian Airlines plane to five. 

The aircraft disappeared more than two years ago with 239 people on board. An extensive underwater search of a wide area of the Indian Ocean off Australia's west coast has so far been fruitless. 

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the two new parts were an engine cowling piece with a partial Rolls-Royce logo and an interior panel piece from an aircraft cabin. 

Mr Liow said an international team of experts in Australia who examined the debris concluded that both pieces were consistent with panels found on a Malaysia Airlines' Boeing 777 aircraft. 

He added: "As such, the team has confirmed that both pieces of debris from South Africa and Rodrigues Island are almost certainly from MH370."
