More suspected wreckage from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has washed up on the northern shore of Indian Ocean island La Reunion, according to reports on Tuesday. But according to one Reunion police officer, “It might as well be from a sewing machine.”
Last week, a wing fragment, known as a flaperon, washed up in the same area. The fragment is from a Boeing 777, the same make as the Malaysian airliner that went missing in March 2014 with 239 people on board, according to the BBC. France has invited Malaysian and Australian aviation experts to Balma to take part in the investigation.
Local officials in Reunion have been sifting through reports of new debris found on Reunion, a French territory located off the east coast of Madagascar, as scavengers arrived on the beach looking for other plane parts, reported the Wall Street Journal.
A man, identified only as Bruno, apparently found a piece of plastic he believes came from a window frame on MH370. He found it while jogging on a path near the beach. The beach where he claims to have found the object is located a few hundred meters from the site where the wing fragment was found.
