MH370: Malaysians say parts of windows, seat cushions have washed up
August 6, 2015
(CNN)Malaysia's transport ministry said Thursday that more plane parts have washed up on the same island as a wing part believed -- with varying degrees of certainty -- to be from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Those new items, which the Malaysians described as pieces of windows, seat cushions and aluminum material, will be tested by the same international team of experts who are looking at a piece of a wing that the Malaysians said Wednesday is definitely from MH370.
An Australian agency coordinating the search for the missing airliner, however, says there is no indication so far of any new aircraft debris.
"A great deal of additional material has been handed over to the police" on Reunion island, the Joint Agency Coordination Centre said in a statement. "While this is being examined, so far none of it appears to have come from an aircraft," the Australian statement.
For a second day, the Malaysian government and officials from other nations trying to determine the fate of the long-missing airliner signaled differing degrees of certainty about its fate.
Since Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the wing part, called a flaperon, is definitely from MH370, other officials have expressed more caution and saying that more testing is needed.
On Wednesday, less than an hour after the Prime Minister's statement, Paris Deputy Prosecutor Serge Mackowiak used slightly less definitive language. Mackowiak said that there were "very strong presumptions" that the debris from the French island in the western Indian Ocean was from MH370, but certainty was not yet possible.
The Boeing 777, carrying 239 people, disappeared on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
