MH370: Fragment Is From Missing Flight
hcs_$reboot writes: The plane part (the flaperon) that was found on a beach in the Indian Ocean on Réunion island was determined to be part of MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight that vanished more than a year ago. Some experts have postulated that the damage suggests the flaperon may have been deployed when the plane hit the water, meaning that someone in the cockpit was consciously manipulating the controls. The Malaysian Prime Minister said at a press conference "We now have physical evidence that ... Flight MH370 tragically ended in the Southern Indian Ocean.".
So the part was found, they are any less dead now.
So at least we know the plane went down, unless someone dumped 777 parts in the ocean as a diversion. We don't know exactly where or why, but we know it wasn't diverted and stolen, and this should re-energize the search attempts. It's there, somewhere (or several somewheres).
How is the Riemann zeta function like Trump rallies? Both have an endless number of trivial zeros.
We also have evidence the mis-direction was intentional and it may have been landed intentionally by its pirate pilot. What did he want?
Would be awkward if the MH370 piece was from another missing plane.
You're saying that a fragment from flight MH370 is from the missing flight MH370? That's amazing.

"MH370 Fragment Is From Missing Flight"
Well duh, if it's called the "MH370 Fragment", and MH370 is missing, it's obvious--then this is not news.
Title should read: found aircraft fragment believe to be from missing MH370 airline.
Of course an "MH370 Fragment" would be from the missing flight. I wouldn't expect to discover that an "MH370 Frangment" was a part of a different flight.
As an engineer I can say for certain this piece is critical. However, Once the flaperon breaks loose, the appropriate technical nomenclature is a flaperoff.
for any americans worried about this crucial aviation component, rest easy. You're probably still in the terminal, safe from harm in the midst of either an endless layover or overbooked flight. Once its emerged from the latest bankruptcy merger, your planes flaperons will continue to function to the highest standard that can be enforced by a regulatory agency with no real power.
Good people go to bed earlier.
I'd be very interested in how they're stating the possibility ("pustulated", "may", "suggests") that the aircraft could've made a landing in the water. Dents or other damage on bottom surface of the flaperon) vs elsewhere? The way the hinges or control rods were damaged? This is VERY important, and I dislike people just speculating how it might have happened without some damned solid evidence.

Based on preliminary observations, Former NTSB Aviation Safety Director Tom Haueter says the part –- identified by Malaysia Airlines as a “flaperon,” a wing component used for balance –- appears to have a pristine leading edge. The rear section, called the trailing edge, appears to be missing.
“To me, it indicates that it was not a high speed, high angle impact, because if that had happened, the leading edge would be crushed,” Haueter, an ABC News contributor, said. “What I don’t see is a severe nose down impact.”
The condition of the debris suggests the flaps were down at the time of the crash, possibly indicating that “somebody's controlling the aircraft,” when it hit the water, said Haueter.
“The airplane wouldn’t have done that on its own,” he added. But “you’re trying to land or ditch the airplane – you’d have the flaps folded down.”
Too bad it didn't kill more fucking maindlander Chinese. Worthless scum stealing all Hong Kong's baby formulas and just always a public nuisance like spitting the streets, disgusting animals. The more that killed, the better.
so it was planted there and crashed quite some time after it was lost
Not saying it was ... but ...
"Some experts have postulated that the damage suggests "
More Experts? Are these the ones that made all of those crazy guesses?
Or is this a new batch?

According to the French Prosecutor, there are "very strong indications", but final confirmation is awaiting further testing.

They couldn't keep up the 24 hour coverage of MH370 for a few more months? And only *now* that this flaperon was found, they are all of a sudden want to cover MH370 cover it again?
Fuck you CNN, you had your chance and you blew it.

I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
if the plane was flying entirely by auto pilot and then the fuel ran out the auto pilot would likely disengage and expect the pilots to take over. if the pilot were in the cockpit and aware, it is likely that as the plane neared the ocean he would lower the flaps to allow the plane to fly slower to reduce the speed at impact. Lowered flaps help prevent stalls at low air speeds and are deployed while landing. While cruising at altitude they are kept up to reduce drag. If up and attached to the plane at impact they could be expected to be stopped when the wing in front of the stops suddenly from impact with the water. the leading edges and the attachment points will show different bending and stress patterns depending on how the plane crashed.
However, there is another possible scenario. If the plane was flying at high altitude and control was lost. (perhaps due to a stall because of engine flame out) the plane could have gone into a steep uncontrolled dive. This could have subjected the plane to extreme over speed. At very high speeds the plane would break apart. it is not unheard of for airliners to come apart in the air just because of mistakes made by the pilots.
i believe this is a composite part. Made of fiber and glue. Some of the edges in other photographs show what seems to be fraying/delamination on the edges. This could be caused by sea water or it could have been due to over-speed.
What is the basis for these new announcements? What do we know now that we didn't several days ago?
I can see an advance from "it looks very much like a 777 flaperon" to "we've inspected it closely and it absolutely is a 777 flaperon". Is that all that there is?
I'd expect such a significant piece to have a serial number and/or quality inspection stamps that could be traced back to a specific part installed into a known plane - but I've not heard anything about such a trace back.

Of course they landed it in the ocean, carefully, and they removed the hydrogen bombs that were being carried "off-manifest" in the cargo hold.
"Pustulate" is a real medical term, and it's even worse.

it's a plant. everybody knows Rothschilds had it shot down.
' "pustulated" Ewwww.....' Well, it is now a zombie plane. Duh!
The mystery gets more and more fascinating. Assuming that the aircraft was hijacked, probably by one of the pilots, what happened next? The other crew and passengers would have had hours to break down the cockpit door, unless he flew up to an altitude that caused them to suffocate (while using cockpit oxygen to stay alive himself). So we have two scenarios:
1. Hijacker retained control until the end. Why bother carefully ditching onto the water though... But then again, why bother flying until you ran out of fuel when you could just nose dive if suicide was the goal.
2. Crew regained control of the aircraft but for some reason were unable to turn transponders etc. back on, and did a controlled water landing when they ran out of fuel with no clear idea of where they were. But surely people would have had GPS enabled phones etc that could have helped them navigate towards land, or perhaps they did but ran out of fuel before getting there.

Can't really see a correlation.
Have patience, young whippersnapper, solid evidence takes some time to fabricate properly.
I'd be very interested in how they're stating the possibility ("pustulated", "may", "suggests") that the aircraft could've made a landing in the water.
Because it was flying over water, disappeared over water, and a piece of its wreckage was found in the water?
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
A flaperon is a trailing edge device and is one of the components making up the trailing edge of the wing. The "leading edge" of the flaperon mates with the main wing and would not necessarily be crushed on impact. The leading edge of the main wing, certainly; but not the flaperon.
See the graphic below for location of the flaperon on a 777:

Impressive comment.
