Experts confirm wreckage of ill-fated plane MH370

Nearly a decade has passed but the disappearance of flight MH370 remains a mystery.

Debris found on Antsiraka beach in Madagascar in 2019 has been confirmed by experts to belong to the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER that went missing in 2014 while on flight number MH370.

According to a report published on July 31 on the MH370 search campaign website, aerospace expert Richard Godfrey confirmed that the debris found on Antsiraka beach was part of the wheel door under the nose of the ill-fated plane.

Nearly a decade has passed but the disappearance of flight MH370 remains a mystery.

Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia at 00:42 on March 8, 2014 (local time) to Beijing International Airport (China).

The plane was operated by two experienced pilots and a crew of 10 flight attendants. There were 227 passengers from many countries on board.

The plane was scheduled to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. the same day, but the final voice communications between the cockpit and air traffic control were interrupted 37 minutes after MH370 departed.

Large-scale search and rescue operations were launched immediately afterward, as well as longer-term search efforts in the following years, but little trace of the aircraft was found.

The debris was discovered by wreck hunter Blaine Gibson in Madagascar in 2019. Previously, some debris from the Boeing 777-200ER was also found at this location on June 12, 2016.

According to Mr. Godfrey, there are currently about 41 pieces of debris confirmed to be from this plane. He expressed hope that each discovery could provide clues to help clarify the fate of flight MH370.
