Debris discovered by Blaine Gibson on Antsiraka Beach in Madagascar has been verified as belonging to the missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200Er that disappeared on March 8, 2014. The piece was previously thought to be marine debris, but aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey has determined it was part of the plane’s nose wheel door in a newly released study.
Godfrey stated that the item had “strong resemblances” to debris found by a fisherman in Madagascar on November 17, 2022. This broken O panel was found at a similar location in Antsiraka Beach.
Godfrey looked at the dimensions, weight and paint coatings of the debris and found them to be consisted with the MH370 craft.
Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12:42 a.m. local time with an expected arrival in Beijing Capital International Airport at 6:30 a.m.
But the last communication with air traffic control took place only...

A 32″×28” piece of debris washed ashore in Madagascar following a tropical storm in March 2017.
In November 2022, MH370 expert Blaine Gibson found the item with other marine debris and realized that it looked similar to other pieces of Malaysia Airlines MH370 found in the Indian Ocean.
The object has not been formally analyzed, but Gibson and others believe that it belongs to the Boeing 777 plane’s landing gear. Deep cuts on the item serve as evidence that the landing gear was most likely deployed before the crash.
Richard Godfrey, a British engineer working on the investigation, said, “The realistic possibility that the landing gear was lowered shows both an active pilot and an attempt to ensure the plane sank as fast as possible after impact.”
This demonstrates that evidence of the crash may have been intentionally hidden either by pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah or another unknown pilot.
