VIDEOS – According to the public prosecutor of Paris, there is “very strong evidence” that the wing debris belongs to the flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014. Earlier, the first Malaysian minister had been more assertive, confirming that the wreckage is that of flight MH370.
According to the Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak, the debris plane found on the island of La Réunion belongs to the MH370 flight. The deputy prosecutor of Paris, Serge Mackowiak, preferred to talk about him Wednesday night “very strong evidence”. On Wednesday, the experts analyzed four hours during the flaperon (wing section). The same evening, and while a press conference was Paris prosecutor announced several hours, Najib Razak took the lead by declaring: “Today, 515 days after the disappearance of the aircraft, the heavy heart that I must announce that an international team of experts concluded that the debris actually comes from the Boeing flight MH370 “He added.” We now have physical evidence that the flight MH370 ended his race in the Indian Ocean. “A nuanced assertion of the French side. The analysis of aircraft wing fragment continues Thursday in Balma (Gers), in a military laboratory of Directorate General of Armaments (DGA) of the Ministry of Defence. The expertise conducted by twenty people, including members of the Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA) and their Malaysian counterparts, will continue “at least several days,” according to a source close to the case.
The first mystery of flight MH370 solved
The membership of the wing piece to a Boeing 777, the device type of flight MH370, virtually was no doubt in recent days. Since the launch of the model in 1995, only two other Boeing were indeed involved in fatal accidents, both occurred near the Indian Ocean. Wednesday night, the deputy prosecutor of the Republic in Paris reported that two factors allowed to have “very strong evidence” as to the membership of the flaperon Boeing 777 Malaysia Airlines. Serge Mackowiak was first specified that “the play is that of a Boeing 777″ following the expertise of Boeing representatives present during the initial analyzes. Malaysia Airlines has also “providing technical documents of the unit of the flight MH370,” which allow “to perform a reconciliation” with the debris found in the island of Reunion. The magistrate concluded that the presumptions of experts “to be confirmed by additional analyzes that will begin on Thursday morning.”
Understanding the crash scenario
The most important step expertise is to sift through the wing piece by identifying pressures and deformations that have suffered. Using a scanning electron microscope, which can swell up to 100 000 times the observed surface, the experts analyze the micro-cracks on the surface of the debris. These could provide valuable information about the circumstances of the crash. “We will know the angle of impact and the speed of the device at the time of the crash,” says Xavier Tytelman, French specialist in aviation safety. Two hypotheses available to investigators. “The plane could fall apart as it hit the surface of the water, or explode in flight,” says a member of the BEA. The analysis of potential chemical traces on the surface of debris could validate or refute this hypothesis.
Shells to find the wreck
The analysis of shells on the surface the flaperon could give clues on the course of this piece in the Indian Ocean. “If the shells are familiar with cold water, then it is possible that the piece has stayed off the Australian coast,” says Xavier Tytelman. Conversely, if the crustaceans are familiar warmer streams, then they will fail to determine a more specific search area. “But that does not give precisely the place where the coin fell,” warns Jean-Paul Troadec, former director of BEA. In the opinion of experts, one thing is certain in any case: the small size of the room will not, by itself, to reconstruct the puzzle of the crash.
