LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Australian officials now believe a piece of an airplane wing belongs to missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370.
The flight, MH370, disappeared on March 8, 2014 probably after flying for many hours. All subsequent searches for the plan have proved fruitless. A detailed search of the sea floor where the plane is likely to have crashed, has revealed nothing.
The hunt for the missing plane will be ended soon as the weather in the Indian Ocean becomes unfavorable. No further searches are planned.
The best hypothesis is that the plane followed an erratic course after leaving Malaysian airspace. The plane eventually turned south and followed a straight path, probably on autopilot, until it ran out of fuel and crashed into the southern Indian Ocean.
A few debris have been found, all wing parts and far away from any suspected crash site. All the debris has been recovered on the east African coast or on an island off the coast.
The pieces suggest the plane broke up before or upon impact and those pieces have been floating for a long time.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to backtrack where those pieces may have come from, and where the crash site may be. It is unlikely the plane will ever be found and even if it were, it may be impossible to recover the black boxes.
It remains the subject of speculation if the plane's captain, Zaharie Shah deliberately crashed the plane as an elaborate suicide, or if an accident, such as a fire, incapacitated the crew and caused the plane to veer off course.
