“Makes sense...the flight had turned to the left, heading in the general direction of La Reunion. Not sure of currents in the Indian Ocean but that beach is on the Northeast side and that makes sense also. Time will tell.”
From other websites, it appears to be a Flaperon from a Boeing 777. If it is “the one”, it should be easy enough to identify from serial numbers that are engraved on every aircraft part.
Also, the “Southen Equatorial Current” runs directly from the west coast of Indonesia/Malaysia, to this area, so it is plausible, as well.
Another Aviation site is saying that if it is indeed a part from MH370, they have been looking for it WAYYYY too far to the south.
So it traveled west instead of south?. Do we still have map with the arch showing possible distance?
A serial number isn’t critical. How many 777 flaperons are unaccounted for?
They looked further south on the assumption the pilot was trying to get back to a safe landing place.
No kiddin’.
They spent months searching the waters off Australia.
