Second possible MH370 plane part found in Reunion
A resident on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion who last year found a wing fragment from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 said on Sunday he had come across a second possible piece from the missing plane. Johnny Begue, who found the "flaperon" part while cleaning a beach last July, said he handed over the new suspected object to police immediately after finding it last Thursday. He said he was out jogging by the sea shore when he found the object measuring about 40 by 20 centimetres, which had a blue mark on the surface and was grey underneath. Begue said it was of the same lightweight "honeycomb" construction as the flaperon piece. The flaperon he found remains the only piece of debris identified with certainty as having come from the flight. Begue said he has been combing the island's shores ever since. "When there's bad weather is when you should look, when the sea tosses up a lot of stuff," he said. Police have not contacted Begue since he handed over the new object on Thursday, he said. Begue's reported find came three days after an American amateur investigator found suspected MH370 debris in Mozambique, some 2,100 kilometres west of Reunion. That object, which is about a metre long, has been sent to Australia for expert analysis.<br/>
