MH370 News: Man May Have Burned Possible MH370 Debris
Debris belonging to MH370 was possibly found but burned by a garbage man who was cleaning up the island three months ago.
According to Yahoo News, Nicholas Ferrier's job is to clean up the island from garbage and other debris. One day, he came across a blue seat, similar to what you see on a bus. Thinking nothing of it, he disposed of the seat. It wasn't until Wednesday he realized the seat could have been part of Flight 370.
"It wasn't until Wednesday that it hit me what it could have been," Ferrier said in an interview with the Telegraph. "It was probably part of that plane."
Ferrier said he found the object in Saint Denis, the same place where an airplane wing was found last week. The wing was confirmed to be a part of a Boeing 777, the same type of plane that MH370 was.
According to CNN, a ladder was found washed ashore, possibly connected to Flight 370. Martin Dolan, the chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said the ladder was not a part of the plane.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared without a trace on March 8, 2014. Some 239 passengers and crew members were on board. After the disappearance, rumors and conspiracy theories began to run rampant about the flight's fate. Conspiracy theories ranged from the plane landing in Diego Garcia to the plane being hijacked by terrorists.
Families of the victims have waited over a year for closure. Ghyslain Wattrelos' wife and two sons were on the flight. When news broke about the piece of a plane wing that had washed ashore on the island of Reunion, Wattrelos said he felt relieved about getting information, despite being a small breakthrough in the case.
"I hope to have answers very soon, because the wait is unbearable," he said.
Most families are holding out hope their loved ones are still alive.
