There is a good likelihood that the piece of debris recovered in Mozambique is from a Boeing 777, like the Malaysia Airlines flight that disappeared two years ago this month, according to a U.S. official familiar with the search for MH370.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Boeing
777, vanished on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to
Beijing after losing radar contact over the South China Sea.
According to a Mozambique aviation official, an American named Blaine Alan
Gibson walking along the beach over the weekend in Mozambique found the piece
of debris near Benguerra. Gibson reported the find to Mozambique officials and the piece is now at the Instituto de Aviacao Civil de Mocambique in the country's capital of Maputo.
The Mozambique aviation official told ABC News the part is 57 by 90 centimeters.
On Wednesday, the Malaysian Minister of Transport tweeted that there's a “high possibility” that a piece of debris belongs to a Boeing 777.[abc]
