The debris was found Wednesday off the coast of Reunion, a French department in the western Indian Ocean. It is being examined to determine whether it is connected to Flight 370, according to a member of the French air force in Reunion.
The passenger jet, a Boeing 777, vanished en route to Beijing in March 2014 with 239 people aboard.
So far, no confirmed trace of it has been found, making it one of history`s biggest aviation mysteries and leaving many relatives of passengers and crew members feeling trapped in uncertainty about the fate of their loved ones.
