France: Search for Malaysia Flight 370 Debris Cut Back
|
Version 0 of 1. France will reduce its search for debris from a missing Malaysia Airlines flight after a 10-day hunt off the island of Réunion in the Indian Ocean turned up nothing new, the authorities said Monday. A wing fragment found on the island last month was the first solid evidence of the fate of Flight 370, which disappeared March 8, 2014, with 239 people aboard. The Malaysian authorities say the piece is part of the plane, though the French, American and Australian authorities have not definitively identified it. Over the past 10 days, searchers scoured nearly 4,000 square miles of ocean but found “nothing suspected of having any connection to a plane,” the local authorities said. |
