According to an unidentified source, the part number from the aircraft debris in fact corresponds to a Boeing 777, CNN reports. Details are developing.

UPDATE: Boeing investigators have now looked at photos of the airplane fragment found by a crew cleaning the coastline of Reunion Island off the southern tip of Africa and “they believe it is a piece of a wing or flap from a Boeing triple 7
,” CNBC reports. “There is only one 777 missing in the world right now — MH370 … The French newspaper Le Figaro reported that the fragment was about 6 feet long and could be a piece of a wing. The fragment appeared to have been in the water ‘for a long period,’ the French Interior Ministry told NBC News.”

PREVIOUS STORY: According to Adjutant Christian Retournat, a French Air Force member, a wing flap has been located on Reunion Island — a French island in the Indian Ocean.

The debris is being examined to see if it belongs to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 which went missing March 8, 2014, en-route to Beijing Capital International Airport in Beijing, China, from Kuala Lumpur International Airport near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In total, 239 people were aboard the doomed flight, which vanished without a trace.

Retournat details, "It is way too soon to say whether or not it is MH370. We just found the debris this morning in the coast of Saint Andre," CNN reports.

"Authorities have said they still don't know why [the plane] turned dramatically off course over the sea between Malaysia and Vietnam, or where exactly its errant journey finished," CNN further reports. "An international team of experts used satellite data to calculate that the plane eventually went down in the southern Indian Ocean. Search teams have been combing a vast area of the seafloor in the southern Indian Ocean, hunting for traces" of the passenger plane.
