More Plane Parts Wash Ashore As Malaysia PM Says Debris 'Conclusively' Belongs to MH370
More plane parts believed to belong to the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 have washed up on the French island of Reunion in recent days.
Investigators first began to question a link between the parts and the missing MH370 flight last week, when the flaperon, an airplane wing part, was discovered by a beach clean-up crew after it washed up on the shores of Reunion.
This week, more plane parts, including plane windows, seat cushions and luggage, washed up on the shores of Reunion, prompting authorities to state that they can "conclusively" confirm that the aircraft debris found is in fact from MH370, which mysteriously vanished while en route from Malaysia to China in 2014.
"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," Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said during a press conference this week.
Now investigators will reportedly turn their focus to the area around Reunion Island to determine if the remainder of the flight is buried somewhere beneath the Indian Ocean.
Despite the prime minister's announcement, some Chinese families of the victims have said that they do not trust the Malaysian investigation into the crash.
"I don't care if they found the wreckage, and I don't care where the plane is," Li Huiyun, who lost her husband in the plane's disappearance, told Time magazine. "If they cannot find the bodies and know what happened to our relatives, it's meaningless."
