Possible debris from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 found: reports

A piece of wreckage believed to be debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was found washed up off the coast of Mozambique, media reported Wednesday.

Malaysian authorities said there is a "high possibility" that the debris found in Mozambique belongs to a Boeing 777.

The debris was found on a sandbank in the Mozambique Channel, the body of water that separates the African continent and Madagascar, NBC News said.

Sources said the object could be from the plane's horizontal stabilizer, the wing-like parts attached to the tail.

The development came days ahead of the second anniversary of the disappearance of the Malaysian jetliner, which vanished en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014 with 239 people on board.

Last July, a two-meter-long piece of aircraft debris was found on Reunion Island and it was confirmed two months later by French investigators as belonging to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
