Airplane Debris Found In Madagascar Confirmed As Part Of Missing MH370 Flight, New Study Finds

Debris discovered by Blaine Gibson on Antsiraka Beach in Madagascar has been verified as belonging to the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER that disappeared on March 8, 2014. The piece was previously thought to be marine debris, but aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey has determined it was part of the plane’s nose wheel door in a newly released study.

Godfrey stated that the item had “strong resemblances” to debris found by a fisherman in Madagascar on November 17, 2022. This broken O panel was found at a similar location in Antsiraka Beach.

Godfrey looked at the dimensions, weight and paint coatings of the debris and found them to be consistent with the MH370 craft.

Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12:42 a.m. local time with an expected arrival in Beijing Capital International Airport at 6:30 a.m.

But the last communication with air traffic control took place only 37 minutes after the plane’s departure. The Malaysian military radar was still able to track the aircraft but lost contact at 2:22 a.m.

Search efforts have yielded only small traces of the aircraft. This has led to various levels of speculation about the events that occurred just before the plane’s disappearance.

Godfrey says that 41 pieces of the plane have been confirmed, but very few of the main sections of the aircraft have been located. None of the passengers have been found.

Widespread speculation has focused on the theory that MH370’s pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah intentionally crashed the plane into the Indian Ocean – but no convincing motive has ever been found.
