Wreckage of MH370 washing up on Reunion Island?
aargee:
Looks like it might be. The wing section is from a Boeing 777. More evidence and tests will follow I guess.

EEVblog:
If it is the flap, it doesn't look deformed in any way as you'd expect if the plane hit vertically at speed as most suspect due to the lack of debris.
So points toward a softer landing.
But perhaps they were just looking in the completely wrong area all this time?
To take all this time for wreckage to wash up seems a bit far fetched, but it is one big arse ocean.
I wonder if they can trace currents back to an approximate lattitude?
TerraHertz:
Good.
"No part of the wreckage has ever been found" - This is not true. A halon fire extinguisher spherical tank washed up on a Maldives beach, Mar 26, 2014. Closely matches photos of the same tank in a Boeing 777.
See http://www.haveeru.com.mv/news/54178
And several other reports around that time, see http://everist.org/archives/links/__Flight_MH370_disappearance_links.txt time sequence.
But it doesn't fit the official story. The tank disappeared, and was never mentioned in the MSM.
I wonder what the French will say about this wing part?

--- Quote ---Air crash investigators have 'a high degree of confidence' that a piece of wreckage found on the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion is from a Boeing 777 - the same model as the doomed MH370 which disappeared in March 2014.
Since the Boeing 777 was introduced in 1994, there have been five incidents - including MH370 - which have led to the destruction of the aircraft. MH370 is the only aircraft of its type which has vanished over the sea. ....
A Boeing source told NBC that they believe the piece of wreckage is from a Boeing 777 and the only missing aircraft of its type is MH370.
He also noted a reference on the wreckage: BB670. He added: 'This code is not a plane's registration number, nor serial number. However... it's clear that this reference would allow a quick identification.

ElectroIrradiator:
Chunks of that size cannot be dropping off 777 wings too frequently. Even then Boeing ought to have the incident in their records if it has happened to another airplane.

NBC just broadcast this and showed that the currents could carry it across the Indian ocean (counterclockwise currents). They also said this is consistent with a "soft" crash landing. See
