Did debris of the ill-fated Malyasia Airlines MH370 reach Reunion Island

#MalayasiaAirlines #MH370 #reunionisland Malayasia Airlines flight MH370 had vanished on March 8, 2014 with 239 passengers and crew onboard as it was on a scheduled flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. There was no trace of the wreckage of any debris till some items have washed up on a beach of the Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
Among the debris found is a bottle of laundry detergent from Jakarta, Indonesia – this lends credence to the theory that these could be from missing Flight MH370.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 31 July 2015.

Earlier, a sea-encrusted section of a plane wing had been found to have washed up on Reunion and it is believed to most certainly be a part of the Boeing 777. This is felt to be a potentially major breakthrough in the search for the missing jet.
Items that have been found on the Saint Andre beach on the western coast of the French island east of Madagascar will be examined by a team of experts who are looking to determine if they came from the plane that has been missing since March 8, 2014 with 239 passengers and crew onboard.
Malaysian investigators will be sending the debris to a French military laboratory near Toulouse -- the hub of Europe's aerospace industry --for examination. The wing part will also be analyzed in special defense facilities that are used for airplane testing and analysis.

2014 – The year of air crashes with over 700 dead

#MH370 #MH17 #Ukraine #KualaLumpur 2014 was probably the worst year for civil aviation because there have been four major crashes reported in the year entailing loss of hundreds of lives. As per reports, the reason for the crashes are different but the fact remains that over 700 lives were lost in the span of 138 days in air crashes. Obviously, air travelers will become worried about the global aviation safety net and may be wondering if, statistically at least, the skies are getting more dangerous.
But – they do not have any alternative as such because, if they decide not to fly, the world would collapse around them and they would have to go back to ancient days of animal drawn carriages. Therefore, come what may, they take-off praying for a safe landing at their destination.
