MH370

Authorities in Australia have taken delivery of two possible parts of the missing MH370 flight which went missing about two years ago.

The two pieces of debris of the missing Malaysian Airliner were both found in Mozambique; one was found on a sandbank by an amateur US investigator in late February and the other in December by a South African tourist.

Confirming receipt of the two parts to the BBC, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said they had received the debris from Mozambique on Sunday and were “working with the Malaysian investigative team to analyse it”.

The ill fated MH370 disappeared in March 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 239 passengers and despite a huge search, only two fragments of the plane have been found.
