Airplane debris washes up on Reunion Island
French police officers carry a piece of debris from a plane in Saint-Andre, Reunion Island. Air safety investigators, one of them a Boeing investigator, have identified the component as a “flaperon” from the trailing edge of a Boeing 777 wing, a U.S. official said. Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, is the only 777 known to be missing.
