Flight 370 speculation surrounds Thai beach debris

A large chunk of metal that could be from an aircraft washed ashore in southern Thailand, but Malaysian authorities Sunday cautioned against speculation of a link to a Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 missing almost 2 years. Flight MH370 lost communications before disappearing in March 2014. It is presumed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, and only one piece of debris has been identified as coming from the plane, a slab of wing that washed ashore on Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean last July. Malaysian transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said he instructed Malaysian civil aviation officials to contact Thailand about the newly found wreckage, a curved piece of metal measuring 6.5 feet by 10 feet with electrical wires hanging from it and numbers stamped on it in several places. Thailand's Transportation Ministry said 4 Malaysian officials and 2 Thai experts will visit the site Monday. <br/>
