MH370: Debris Found In Maldives Not From Plane, Malaysia Announces

Malaysia said on Thursday that most of the debris found on the shore of the Maldives does not belong to the wreckage of flight MH370. The announcement comes after possible plane debris found in the Maldives was brought to the attention of authorities.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai described the findings of the Malaysian investigators, stating that "most of the debris are negative. They are not related to MH370 and they are not plane material."

However, it is still unclear if all the debris has been intensively examined, reports The Standard.

Malaysia announced last week that the Boeing 777 flaperon found on the island of Reunion has been confirmed to have come from the missing jet. The announcement was made even though investigations by aviation experts in Toulouse, France, are still ongoing, according to MSN News.

The disappearance of MH370 has become one of the world's most beguiling aviation mysteries, triggering an massive number of theories about the jet's disappearance and ultimate fate. With the recent discovery of the Boeing 777 flaperon on the island of Reunion, hopes for closure have been rekindled and efforts to find the missing plane have gotten underway.

The discovery of the wing flap has given search teams a significant clue, culminating in the expansion of the area where searches will be initiated, as reported by HNGN.
