List of debris with likely MH370 link grows

Malaysian authorities have released a list of 22 items found on beaches along the Indian Ocean’s African littoral region that have either been confirmed as being debris from MH370, or are likely to be so. The items were found in Reunion, Mozambique, South Africa, Mauritius, Madagascar, and Tanzania. Of the 22 items, 3 are confirmed as coming from the lost Boeing 777-200ER: the right flaperon, an outboard aft flap section, and a right outboard flap. Five items, found from late 2015 to early 2016, are categorised as having “almost certainly” originated from the lost aircraft: a right-wing flap track fairing; a piece of a right horizontal stabiliser panel; an engine nose cowl; the door R1 stowage closet; and a cabin interior panel. A further 15 items are under evaluation, with one item deemed not identifiable. <br/>
