New debris finds to be analysed for possible MH370 connection
Recent debris finds on the island of Nosy Boraha off the east coast of Madagascar have been sent to investigators at the Australian Air Transport Safety Bureau for analysis to determine if they could be additional wreckage from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. The new debris—which includes a coat hook on a seat back—was discovered on Nosy Boraha Island. If confirmed, it would add to existing MH370 debris finds in Mauritius and Reunion Island, all on the western seaboard of the Indian Ocean. Search activities have concentrated on the southern Indian Ocean off Australia, but the ATSB recently said it would not extend the existing search area and would cease the search operation “in the absence of credible new information” once the currently designated 120,000 sq k area was mapped by Aug 2016. <br/>
