More parts of missing MH370 found off Tanzania
A large flap section found on the island of Pemba, off the coast of Tanzania, belongs to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, according to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau
ATSB released photos of the flap section which showed an outboard flap of a Boeing 777. Over the last few months, several debris pieces have been found, with some being linked to the missing jet. A recent debris piece found in Madagascar hinted at a fire on board the jet which disappeared on March 8 2014 in southern Indian Ocean with 239 people on board..
"On arrival at the ATSB, several part numbers were immediately located on the debris that confirmed the preliminary identification. This was consistent with the physical appearance, dimensions and construction of the part," ATSB said in a statement. "All of the identification stamps had a second "OL" number, in addition to the Boeing part number, that were unique identifiers relating to part construction. The Italian part manufacturer recovered build records for the numbers located on the part and confirmed that all of the numbers related to the same serial number outboard flap that was shipped to Boeing as line number 404. Aircraft line number 404 was delivered to Malaysian Airlines and registered as 9M-MRO."
