Investigators searching for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 are examining a possible Boeing Co. 777 component found off the coast of Mozambique, NBC reported, citing people it didn’t identify.
The object turned up on a sandbank in Mozambique Channel, between the mainland and Madagascar, NBC said. Preliminary analysis of photographs by investigators in Malaysia, Australia and the U.S. suggests it could have come from Flight 370, NBC reported. The object has the words ‘no step’ written on it and may be from a plane’s horizontal stabilizer, the report said.
“It’s too speculative at this point for MAS to comment,” Malaysia Airlines said in response to questions from Bloomberg News, referring to itself by its acronym. Boeing couldn’t immediately comment when reached outside normal business hours.
A spokesman with Malaysia’s transport ministry said it’s waiting for confirmation and verification from counterparts, without giving details on who the other parties are.
Investigators from about a dozen countries have scoured the Indian Ocean and South China Sea since the Malaysia Air 777 jetliner disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014 while on a routine flight to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. Bloomberg
