‘Pemba debris is from MH370’


SEPANG: Plane debris discovered on the island of Pemba off the coast of Tanzania is confirmed to be part of the missing MH370. This has been deduced after several numbers as well as its physical appearance and dimensions were found to match the ill-fated aircraft.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said both the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) and the MH370 Safety Investigation Team had determined that the numbers, appearance, dimensions and constructions matched that of an inboard section of a Boeing 777 outboard flap.
