Flight MH370 Search Update: Debris Found In South Africa "almost certainly" From Missing Plane

Malaysia's government claimed on Thursday, two pieces of debris, found in South Africa and Rodrigues Island off Mauritius were "almost certainly" from flight MH370, which went missing on March 8, 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board.

"This complements the results from the previous examination in March during which the team confirmed that the Mozambique debris were almost certainly from MH370," said Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, the Malaysian transportation minister.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau(ATSB) confirmed on Thursday, the piece found in South Africa earlier this year is from engine cowling featuring a Rolls-Royce stencil. The other piece found on 30 March in Mauritius is almost certain from MH370's main cabin.

As of this writing, a total of five pieces of debris from Flight MH370 have now been found in various spots around the Indian Ocean.

The first piece of debris was discovered in July 2015 on a beach on on France's Reunion Island, an island in the Indian Ocean. Investigation team said the segment is a right wing flaperon of MH370.

Malaysia's government claimed Flight MH370 have been crashed somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean. But, the ongoing search led by Australia has discovered nothing.
