Australia: Parts Found in Mozambique Likely Belong to MH370

Two years after the disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines plane, parts have been found in Mozambique that Australia says likely belong to the fuselage of Boeing flight 370. Previously, a piece of the plane had been found around the African continent. Sydney has announced that investigations into the findings are ongoing. The Boeing 777 of Malaysian Airlines, with 239 passengers, was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared. The disappearance of this aircraft has become one of the most mysterious aviation incidents, and since the black box has not yet been found, investigations into this event seem almost impossible. The recent parts have also been found thousands of kilometers away from the area where the search for the plane has been focused, and that too two years after the plane's disappearance. Nevertheless, the discovery of these parts indicates that the model that has shaped the ongoing search process is not entirely incorrect. Darren Chester, the Australian Minister of Transport, told reporters on April 5 that 'the fact that parts have been found on the east coast of Africa aligns with the search process and validates efforts (to find the plane) in the southern Indian Ocean.' Earlier this month, a white piece was found on the coast of Mozambique. This piece was discovered by an American adventurer who is personally conducting research on flight 370. Last August, another piece was found around Madagascar that was confirmed to belong to the Boeing 777 of Malaysian Airlines. A group of specialists from Australia, Malaysia, and Boeing are investigating the found parts. The general perception among researchers and experts is that the missing plane crashed in the Indian Ocean due to one or more reasons.
