According to a recent report by Mirror, suspected debris from a missing Malaysian Airlines plane have been sent for examination to Civil Aviation Institute after they were found on a Mozambique shore.
President of Civil Aviation, Captain Joao Martins de Abreu, said at a news conference yesterday revealed that the pieces discovered had a number inside the panel that could help identify the plane.
The largest piece found in the washed up debris consisted of a large triangular piece that had a red and white section on one side and metallic on the other, congruent with the colors used in Malaysian Airlines flight logo. This piece was first picked up last month by a hotelier off the coast of Mozambique's southern region, Imhambane.
Australia is said to lead the massive search operation who strongly believe that these pieces are from the missing plane.
"I believe in the expertise of the international investigation team, they will identify very easily," de Abreu said. He also noted that this is the first time that a colored piece has been found.
The remaining two pieces of the three discovered were picked up by Xai Xai and were handed over to the experts last month. No more details were shared about these two pieces. These items will be examined by Malaysian authorities.
Malaysian Airline MH370 vanished in 2014 with 239 people on board, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. So far, a massive search operation is underway and no conclusive information has been found. The 239 missing passengers flying the fateful MH370 are presumably dead as the authorities arrive at a unanimous decision of concluding the search if no evidence is found by the end of 2016. The case of missing MH370 has become one of the largest mysteries in the history of aviation, reports Channel News Asia.
The search, led by Australia, is one of the costliest and largest search operation, at £100 million pounds, scouring a region of 120,000-sq-kms in the remote part of southern Indian Ocean.
