Where the wing fragment was found...

A French aviation expert believes he may have found the wreckage of MH370 – the Malaysia Airlines flight which disappeared off the coast of Malaysia in March 2014.
Xavier Tytelman, a former military pilot who now specialises in aviation security, was contacted on Wednesday morning by a man living on the island of Reunion, in the Indian Ocean. The man sent Mr Tytelman a series of photos showing wreckage of a plane, which the Frenchman said could possibly be the missing jet.
"I've been studying hundreds of photos and speaking to colleagues," Mr Tytelman told The Telegraph. "And we all think it is likely that the wing is that of a Boeing 777 – the same plane as MH370.
"Police in Reunion examining the wreckage say that it looks like it's been in the water for around a year, which again would fit with MH370. We can't say for certainty, but we do think there is a chance that this is it."
The plane vanished with 239 people on board in circumstances which have baffled investigators, and left distraught families searching for answers.
Wild theories emerged about the plane: that it had landed in Diego Garcia, or flown on to North Korea. But Mr Tytelman believes that the Indian Ocean location makes sense for wreckage of the plane to have washed up.
"The French police are now looking at it, and the Australians – who are in charge of the search – are interested too," he said. "We don't know how long it will take to get confirmation or a definite denial. But it's an intriguing development."

Hate to rain on the parade, but what is the part number? Without that we don’t have any Schlitz.
It’s looking like the pilot-hijacker was trying to take it to his favorite dunghole somewhere in Africa.

Well, there goes my pet UFO theory.
(I know I should not make fun of such a tragedy but the mystery is compelling).
Prayers for all the families — maybe this will lead to removal of the first level of uncertainty (where is it?). The second level of uncertainty (what happened?) may never be known.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I doubt this will help them find the wreckage, let alone data recorders; but it does eliminate the Asian landing scenario.
16 months of drifting.
So it WASN’T a black hole that sucked it up? WOW. LOL
those parts are serialized and have a pedigree back to the parent unit... should take ten seconds to search the FTN numbers...
I’m wondering how far from the impact this piece drifted, if it is in fact part of MH370.
If you are correct then we have a bingo bango, most airplanes do not tend to toss around their own identifiable pieces here are there in a random pattern. But most reports that I have seen do not establish to traceability to the missing aircraft. That connection may be coming.
” but it does eliminate the Asian landing scenario.”
Conspiracies die hard ... it was a manufactured fake to throw us off the real story.
There goes the “terrorists landed it on a remote airstrip, killed all the passengers and are gonna use it for another 9-11” theory.
1300 or so triple 7s built to date, so I assume there aren’t a lot of these parts randomly laying around?
