MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT MH370 MISSING 36m Editor's note: Numerous tweets are noting the discovery of airline debris off the coast of La Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean and speculating about a possible link to the missing Malaysia jet MH370. Jon Ostrower, the Wall Street Journal’s aerospace reporter, says the debris appears to be an airline flap. - Tom

MH370: wreckage found on Reunion ‘matches Malaysia Airlines flight’
I don’t watch CNN....LOL.
Given the current direction there, this is a logical place for debris to show up. Anyway, they should find a serial number on the parts and confirm soon.
But did they find a Polar Bear? How about the Dharma outpost?
Broken plane wing found on a La Reunion island could be from missing flight MH370
Thank you. There are more pics coming in but damned if I can post them.
I would speculate that most parts on a commercial aircraft would have some sort of serial number on it.
No problem.
Hopefully, they can find what’s left of the plane - at the very least, the families can get some closure.
As to whether any info from the FDR or the CVR will be recoverable, I kinda doubt it.
Reunion? I call this a false alarm.
At least the search area will be narrowed. Need a larger map including distance it may have flown
“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?
CNN brought out Richard Quest again, he sounded giddy as a school girl being asked out for the prom by the most popular boy in school
Would that be consistent with a 180 turn around and just keep going?
ROFLMAO !!!
That inset covers Reunion, which is East of Madagascar. Right at the edge of available fuel
