Possible MH370 piece found on Reunion Island

Pieces of suspected MH370 debris continue to be collected on the shoreline of France’s Reunion Island.
The same Reunion resident who found a plane door part that turned out be a ladder discovered what may be a piece of plastic moulding belonging to a plane window on Tuesday.
There is equal speculation that the plastic may belong to the side of a sewing machine.

• Debris ‘likely’ from MH370

After a Boeing 777 wing ‘flaperon’ was found last week, a team of international aviation experts descended on the island in the hope of upturning more from the mysterious wreckage.
The experts, who have not been identified, are known to be from China, Malaysia and France.
Australia will send an expert from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau to help inspect the flaperon.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Warren Truss, said Australia would send the expert at the invitation of the French judiciary.
“Malaysian authorities, who are responsible for investigating the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, have determined that the aircraft component retrieved from La Réunion is a flaperon from a B777 aircraft,” Mr Truss told the Herald Sun.
“Work is being undertaken by the Malaysian and French authorities to establish whether the flaperon originated from MH370.”
The discovery of the wing part triggered ‘rubbish fever’ on the island, with experts and residents alike combing the beach for any sign of debris.
Volunteers are said to be handing over plastic bags full of debris to the authorities in the hope it could be connected to the flight that killed all 227 passengers and 12 crew.
Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 went missing on a routine commercial flight between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing.
The flight made its last contact with air traffic control less than half an hour after takeoff.
Six Australians were on board the flight, as well as 152 Chinese citizens and 50 Malaysians.
