Even after two years, the mystery of the missing MH370 continues to baffle the world


Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had gone missing on 8 March, 2014, as it was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing - there were 239 passengers and crew aboard. The plane suddenly vanished and the mysterious disappearance continues to baffle the whole world. Debris ave been retrieved from time to time from different locations and have been sent for analysis to establish links to MH370 - the latest in this is the debris found on the coast of Mozambique. This will also be sent to Australia to determine whether it belongs to missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 3 March 2016.
The latest discovery is by an American blogger who reportedly discovered the three-foot-long debris fragment on the east African coast earlier this week. It has, since, been handed over to the authorities as confirmed by the president of Mozambique's Civil Aviation Institute'. The find is believed to be part of an aircraft's tail known as a horizontal stabilizer.
Malaysia's Transport Minister has opined that initial indications suggest there is a "high possibility" it came from a Boeing 777, the same model of aircraft as MH370. Australia's Transport Minister also feels that the location of the possible find is consistent with oceanic drift models that are used to search for signs of the missing plane.
It may be recalled that in July a wing fragment was found on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, with experts later determining that it came from MH370. That was the only confirmed find of debris during a two-year investigation into the missing plane.
In the opinion of experts MH370 might have veered sharply off course to the far-southern Indian Ocean before crashing into the sea.
