In March 2014, the world was left in shock and disbelief when Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared without a trace.
Despite extensive search efforts, investigations, and support from around 26 countries, the fate of the plane and its 239 passengers and crew remained a mystery.
77-year-old fisherman confirmed that he had found a part of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 on the coast 55km offshore in southeastern Australia in September or October 2014.
Australian fisherman, Kit Olver, reported that his trawler unexpectedly pulled up a huge plane wing which he affirmed belonged to the MH370.
Based on its vast size, Kit realized it couldn't belong to a private jet or smaller aircraft.
However, due to its tremendous size, he was unable to get it onboard his boat, forcing him to let it go.
Kit reported the discovery to the authorities, but no further action was taken at the time.
He expressed his regrets, stating that he wished he had never encountered the wing but acknowledged its significance, describing it as the wing of a large jet airliner.
George Currie, who worked as a first mate on Kit's boats for over 20 years, confirmed the challenging nature of the discovery, mentioning the heavyweight and the damage it caused to their net.
Kit contacted Ocean Infinity in 201, a company involved in a new search for the missing wreckage, but they seemed to not believe his reports
He explained that his finding had received little attention earlier because it was discovered in a different location than where flight MH370 was believed to have gone down in the Southern Indian Ocean.
Kit emphasized that the wing was not a shipping container, a missing vehicle in the same area, as initially suggested, but rather a wing from an aircraft. However, it remains uncertain whether the wing truly belonged to the missing flight.
While this discovery raises significant questions, further investigation is necessary to determine its authenticity and potential connection to Malaysia Airlines MH370.
