Debris(残骸) found in the western Indian Ocean on Wednesday appears to be part of a Boeing 777.According to a source close to the investigation,it’s the same model as Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that disappeared in 2014.The source said there is a unique element to the Boeing 777's flaperon(襟副翼), a wing component that Boeing observers believe they are seeing in photos.

The debris was found on Wednesday off the coast of Reunion Island, a French department in the western Indian Ocean. It is being examined to see if it is connected to flight MH370, a member of the French air force in Reunion said on Wednesday.

K.S. Narendran, whose wife was on the plane, said he wouldn’t call the discovery a major development. “ I think this is very early days yet. All we know is that a small part has been found. It is still a little early to suggest it does belong to MH370,"he said. "I think it is premature to feel that it is all coming to a close or that we are even closer to the truth."

Sarah Bajc, whose partner, Philip Wood, was on MH370, said her "heart has been in my throat for most of the days". During the first days of the search for the plane, there were several reports of possible debris sightings in the waters closer to where people believe the plane went down, but none of those was actual wreckage. 

"If this is actually the piece of the wing, then that little thread of hope that I have been holding on to will, will have to break. And reality will have to take over," she said holding back tears. "But, yeah, up until now, I and most of the family members have continued to believe that until we have a body...we can't give up hoping they will still come back."
