Malaysia investigates second piece of debris two years after MH370 disappeared
Malaysia isinvestigating a second piece of debris found on the
small Indian Ocean island of Reunion, suspected to
be from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
The plane disappeared on March 8, 2014, en route
from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers
and crew on board, most of them Chinese, in one of
the world's greatest aviation mysteries.
So far, only a piece of wing, known as a flaperon,
discovered in July last year has been confirmed by
authorities to belong to the missing Boeing 777.
Last week, an American adventurer found a piece of
debris on a beach on the African east coast nation
of Mozambique. Officials will send that item to
Australia for examination.
"Currently, we are awaiting verification of two more
pieces of debris which were discovered recently in
Mozambique and Reunion Island respectively,"
Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said
in a statement.
Liow said an interim report will be released by the
MH370 investigation team on Tuesday marking the
two-year anniversary of the disappearance.
