Third piece of plane wreckage confirmed as MH370 debris<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Third piece of plane wreckage confirmed as MH370 debris<\/strong> : (CNN)A fragment of plane wing discovered in Mauritius in May has been confirmed as coming from missing plane Malaysia Airlines MH370, Australia’s Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said in a statement on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is the third piece of debris to be definitively linked to MH370, Australia’s transport minister Darren Chester said Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It does not, however, provide information that can be used to determine a specific location of the aircraft,” Chester said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plane wing fragment was discovered in Mauritius on 10 May 2016, and was delivered to the ATSB for investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n

An “‘OL’ part identifier” was legible on the plane piece, the ATSB said, which allowed investigators to definitively identify the wreckage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 vanished on March 8, 2014, after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on a flight towards Beijing with 239 people on board. The investigation into its disappearance is ongoing.<\/span><\/p>\n

MH370 debris found in Tanzania, Reunion Island<\/span><\/p>\n

Two previous pieces of airplane wreckage have been confirmed as coming from MH370 — a flaperon discovered on Reunion Island in July 2015 and an outboard wing flap found in Tanzania in June 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Reunion Island wreckage was the first piece of MH370 debris discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since July 2015, about six pieces of wreckage have been confirmed as likely coming from the missing plane, although not all pieces could be completely verified.<\/span><\/p>\n

This includes two items of debris found on the Mozambique coast in December 2015 and February 2016, each considered “almost certainly” from MH370.<\/span><\/p>\n

A seventh piece of debris found in Madagascar, covered in burn marks, may also come from the missing plane but has yet to be verified.<\/span><\/p>\n
