Most Maldives debris ‘not from MH370’
Print Edition
MALAYSIA said yesterday that most of the debris found in Maldives were not from a plane and were unrelated to the missing Malaysian jet.
Last week, Malaysia said a wing fragment found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion was confirmed to be from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. The plane disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Media reports in Maldives indicated debris found in recent weeks was brought to authorities’ attention following the discovery on Reunion.
Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said a team sent to Maldives has examined the debris.
“Most of the debris are negative. They are not related to MH370 and they are not plane material,” Liow said.
The plane was thought to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean but no trace had been found until a barnacle-crusted object was found two weeks ago on French-held Reunion Island.
