Wing part may help solve flight mystery

A sea-crusted wing part washed up on an island in the western Indian Ocean may be the first trace of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 since it vanished nearly a year and a half ago, and a tragic but finally solid clue to one of aviation’s most perplexing and expensive mysteries.

Malaysia’s prime minister said the debris found on the French island of Reunion will be sent for investigation to the French city of Toulouse, the centre for European aviation.
