Plane window found on Reunion Island as MH370 families vent anger

A plane window has been found by a Malaysian team on Reunion, along with other aircraft debris, a minister has said. Malaysia’s transport minister Liow Tiong Lai said he could not confirm the window belonged to MH370 but icomes after a flaperon found on the tiny island was formally identified as belonging to the missing Malaysia Airline jet. Mr Liow said there were “many items” collected by the team, including some aluminium foil and seat cushions, and added: “I can only ascertain that it’s plane debris.”

We now have physical evidence that, as I announced on on 31 March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the Southern Indian Ocean. This is a remote, inhospitable and dangerous area.

The items have been sent to the French authorities for examination. alaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak earlier confirmed a flaperon also found on the island had come from the plane, more than a year after it vanished flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The announcement in Malaysia was met with anger and cynicism by Chinese relatives of some of the 239 passengers and crew who were on board when the flight disappeared on 8 March last year. Many demanded that the search continue to find the bodies, with some refusing to believe that their relatives were dead.

If the plane crashed, the wreckage should be everywhere, there should be many pieces of wreckage in the sea, but where are the passengers?
