More ‘plane debris’ discovered in the Maldives

Debris suspected to be parts of an airplane were discovered on two separate islands in the Maldives today.

A large white piece was found washed ashore on Baa Atoll Goidhoo Island, located on the west of the Maldives archipelago, and two large pieces of grey metal sheets with numbers were found on the resort of Gililankanfushi, on the archipelago’s east.

The Maldives was in the global media spotlight in August when some five islands reported finding unidentified debris, soon after the discovery of a wing fragment of missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 on the Indian Ocean Island of Reunion.

Most of the debris found in the Maldives were not from MH370, Malaysian authorities have said.
