MH370 News: More Debris Found on Island of Reunion, Confusion Ensues
A day after confirming a piece of airplane debris was a part of MH370, more debris was found on the island of Reunion, according to Malaysia's transport minister.
According to NBC News, Malaysia's transport minister Liow Tiong Lai announced more airplane debris was found on the island, most notably a plane window. She also claimed pieces of aluminum foil were found.
French officials, however, contradict the claim, saying no other objects have been found.
When asked about the new findings, Lai said she is certain the plane window is indeed airplane debris.
"I can only ascertain that it's plane debris. I cannot confirm that it's from MH370," she said.
French officials say otherwise and claim no more evidence has been found on the island. The plane disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 passengers and crew members.
According to the Guardian, family members are fed up with the information authorities recently released.
"Why the hell do you have one confirm and one not?" said Sarah Weeks, whose brother was on the flight. "Why not wait and get everybody on the same page so the families don't need to go through this turmoil?"
So far, only one piece of Flight 370 has been recovered -- a flaperon found on Reunion last week.
On Reunion, debris is often found on the shorelines. Most of the debris, caused by passing commercial ships, will make the search even harder for authorities because they have to separate clues from junk.
There has been many theories on why the plane disappeared, but one theory is getting traction.
The pilot suicide theory.
According to Ewen Wilson, a New Zealand air accident investigator, he believes that the pilot, Zaharie Shah, may have turned off the oxygen supply, killing all 239 passengers and crew members. According to Wilson, there has been five incidents of "murder/suicide" in the past three decades. He believes that Shah was battling a mental illness before the doomed flight.
We may never know what truly happen on that flight. The Flight 370 mystery is a long way from being solved.
