This could be the convincing evidence that MH370 went down in the Indian Ocean,” Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said. He said a part number stenciled on the piece of wreckage recovered on the Indian Ocean island of La Reunion on Wednesday confirms it came from a Boeing 777. The ill- fated jet, which vanished 16 months ago with 239 people aboard, was a Boeing 777. Investigators believe it mysteriously divert- ed off its flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March of last year and later crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. There have been no other crashes of that aircraft model in that part of the world. “From the part number, it is confirmed that it is from a Boeing 777 aircraft. This infor- mation is from MAS (Malaysia Airlines). They have informed me,” he said.
