KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): The parents of those Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in 2014 found what they consider to be new debris from the plane and will present it to the Malaysian government this week.
The MH370 flight was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, when it disappeared and became one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries.
Malaysian and international investigators estimate that the jet deviated several thousand kilometers from its planned route before diving into the Indian Ocean. But nobody knows why.
A total of 27 aircraft debris was collected at various locations around the world, but only three fragments of wings that were washed away along the Indian Ocean coast came from the MH370.
Relatives said in a brief statement on Wednesday (November 28th) that they would meet the Malaysian Transport Minister on Friday (November 30th) "to hand over the recently recovered debris".
Calvin Shim, whose wife was a crew member in the plane, said
Reuters announced that the group planned to return five pieces of debris found off Madagascar, where debris had already been found.
The most recent discovery took place in August, he said.
In May, the US company Ocean Infinity canceled research from Malaysia, which extends over 112,000 km 2 in the South Indian Ocean and has resulted in no significant results.
This was the second major research after Australia, China and Malaysia that ended an unsuccessful search of A $ 200 million (US $ 144.80 million) on an area of 120,000 km 2 last year.
Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said in May that the country would consider resuming searches only if new clues were revealed.
In July, the investigators published a 495-page report stating that the aircraft's controls had probably been deliberately manipulated to avoid following the route but that they had not been able to determine who was responsible for it. – Reuters
