Debris found on an Indian Ocean island last week is from
MH370, Malaysia's prime minister announced on Thursday,
confirming for the first time that the plane which
mysteriously disappeared 17 months ago had crashed.
"Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a
very heavy heart that I must tell you that an international
team of experts has conclusively confirmed that the aircraft
debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370,"
Prime Minister Najib Razak told reporters.

southern Indian Ocean." Najib's widely expected
announcement ends an agonizing wait for families of the
239 passengers and crew who have demanded concrete
proof of what happened to their missing loves ones.
But next-of-kin, investigators, and the aviation industry are
still left with the vexing question of what caused the
Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 aircraft to inexplicably divert
on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.
The flight apparently veered out over the Indian Ocean,
flying for hours after its communications and tracking
systems were shut off, in what remains one of the biggest
mysteries in the history of flight.
Najib gave no indication that the analysis of the debris
yielded any clues into the cause of the disappearance. "I
would like to assure all those affected by this tragedy that
the government of Malaysia is committed to do everything
within our means to find out the truth of what happened," he
said.
"MH370's disappearance marked us as a nation. We mourn
with you, as a nation."
The piece of debris, a wing component called a flaperon,
was found last week on a beach on the French island La
Reunion, near Madagascar. It was flown to the French city
of Toulouse where it was examined on Wednesday by
French and Malaysian technical experts, and
representatives from Boeing to determine any link to
MH370. Many relatives accuse Malaysia's government and
the airline of a bungled response to the disaster, possible
cover-up, and insensitive treatment of families, charges that
are vehemently denied.
