Possible MH370 plane part found in Mozambique reaches Malaysia

Malaysia Thursday received the remains of an aircraft found in Mozambique which will be analyzed to determine if it belongs to the Malaysia Airlines aircraft that went missing with 239 people on board on March 8, 2014.

The Malaysian Minister of Transport, Liow Tiong Lai, indicated that the triangular shaped piece has the words “No Step” written on the base of the hypotenuse.

“We will send it to Australia for further examinations,” said Liow, according to local daily, The Star.

The Beijingbound flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 with 239 people aboard, 40 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.

Passengers included 153 Chinese, 50 Malaysians, 7 Indonesians, 6 Australians, 5 Indians, 4 French, 3 Americans, 2 Canadians, 2 Iranians, 2 New Zealanders, 2 Ukrainians, a Dutch, a Russian and a Taiwanese, and the crew.

According to official investigation someone turned off the communication systems of the aircraft that later crashed in a remote region of the Indian Ocean, after running out of fuel.

Australia, Malaysia and China are still searching for the plane in an area of 120,000 square kilometers (46,332 square miles) situated some 1,700 km (1,056 miles) west of the western Australian coast.

To date, nothing has been found in that area, but three pieces were recovered off the eastern coast of Africa, two in the French Reunion Island and another in Mozambique.

The first object found in Reunion island last year turned out to be a wing piece of MH370.

The other two parts discovered this year are still under analysis.
