Australia: Reunion Island debris “consistent with analysis” of MH370 resting place

http://atwonline.com/safety/australia-reunion-island-debris-consistent-analysis-mh370-resting-place

The Australian government has issued a statement on the discovery of debris on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean July 29 and which is being examined to determine whether it comes from missing Malaysia Airlines MH370, a Boeing 777-200.

The debris, measuring about 2 meters, appears similar to the wing flap of a large commercial airliner. Because the debris was retrieved on a French-owned island, it is now in the possession of French authorities.
