In what is being termed as the largest aviation search in the history that included 26 countries and spreading from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean, the Kuala Lumpur-Beijing bound Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, which went missing under mysterious conditions on March 8, 2014, has been found on the shores of the Island of Reunion in the French coast of the Indian ocean.
Confirming the news of a wing of the flight washing up on the shores of the Reunion Island, the Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Rizak said in his Facebook post that the French authorities have confirmed the airplane debris was found on 29th July, 2015, after 515 days of mystery, pain and anguish.
“We now have physical evidence that, as I announced on 24th March last year, flight MH370 tragically ended in the southern Indian Ocean. This is a remote, inhospitable and dangerous area, and on behalf of Malaysia I would like to thank the many nations, organisations and individuals who have participated in the search,” said the PM.
Condoling the families of the dead, the PM also said that the Malaysian government “will always remember and honour those who were lost onboard MH370.”
