Officials say debris found on Australian island not MH370
Debris found on an Australian island earlier this month is not from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, investigators said Wednesday. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau was notified June 9 that the debris had been found on Kangaroo Island off the southern Australian coast. The bureau, which is running the search in the southern Indian Ocean on Malaysia's behalf, said it had recovered the part but Boeing, the maker of the missing plane, advised that it was "not consistent with the manufacturing specifications of a Boeing commercial aircraft." The bureau did not say what the debris was likely from. Authorities say the plane likely crashed in the Indian Ocean, but officials have had no luck finding the main underwater wreckage despite an extensive search of a vast area of the ocean off Australia's west coast. <br/>
