Tour guide’s claim sparks new plane crash theory
TWISTED debris, possibly from doomed flight MH370, has been found off the coast of Mozambique.
The sighting has sparked the theory the plane exploded before it crashed
Previously it was assumed it had been under pilots control when it plunged into the sea.
A south African tour operator claims to have found a large piece of the missing plane.
Tour operator Jean Viljoen said he had given the piece of wreckage to local police who were investigating.
He said: “It’s kind of almost like a triangular shape.
“It probably stands about a meter wide and about, from point to point, maybe a metre long — so it’s quite big.
“It’s just the one very big piece that I’ve found so far, but I’m going to be going up and down our coastline with my boat and trying to see if there’s more.”
Mystery has surrounded the disappearance of the Boeing 777 which vanished in March 2014, while flying to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board.
In July, officials Australia, Malaysia and China, announced they were winding down the search.
It was expected to be abandoned altogether in December.
Families of the crash victims have demanded the search carries on and are pushing for answers.
