In the latest update from the MH370 investigations, two pieces of aircraft debris found on beaches in Mauritius and South Africa ‘almost certainly’ came from the aircraft.
According to another report, when MH 370 hit the water, its fuselage was torn open by the impact. Along with that, it is stated that four other pieces of wreckage so far recovered were from external parts of the jet: a wing control surface called a flaperon, found on Réunion Island; two pieces of a horizontal stabilizer, found near Mozambique; part of an engine cowling, found on the east coast of South Africa.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the Malaysian ICAO Annex 13 Safety Investigation Team concluded that both pieces of debris “are consistent with panels found on a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft”, following a thorough examination done by the international experts.
“As such, the team has confirmed that both pieces of debris from South Africa and Rodrigues Island are almost certainly from MH370.” Liow added.
It looks like as for now, ‘almost certainly’ is the best we can get out of the investigations. We urge family members of the victims to remain strong and patient.
