MH370: wreckage found on Reunion 'matches Malaysia Airlines flight'
The Telegraph ^ | 07/29/2015 | Harriet Alexander

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."

That part looks heavy! Doesn’t look like it would be flotsam. Article doesn’t say how it wound up on the island. Seems like it should have sunk.

The nutjobs are already trying to link to Diego Garcia.

You see, the CIA stole it so they could do a false flag attack on the Jefferson Memorial to spark a race war over the rebel flag.

OH NO! It does not! THIS wreckage was dropped there, with appropriate serial numbers engraved before the drop. We CAN rule out the “Black Hole” theory... but all others remain on the table! OMG WHAT WORLD AM I LIVING IN???

IIRC there are reports of at least 2 other 777s going down in that area.

Doesnt matter...all have unique FTNs that are tracked so they can keep times and history of the parts. They can tell when it was installed on that AC.

This is the only missing 777, as far as I know.

According to the news I just saw on tv, there is exactly one missing 777 in the world.

BS. Did you make that up yourself, or are you just disseminating false information?

777 Crashes:

January 17, 2008 London - BA flight from China.

July 6, 2013 San Francisco - Asiana flight from Seoul

March 8, 2014 - Malaysia - the flight in question

July 17, 2014 - Ukraine - Malaysia flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur - shot down.

Which two were you counting?

FNC definitely needs to cancel Gen. McEnearny's contract. This guy soon will have zero credibility -- nay, negative credibility.
