Plane debris found on Indian Ocean island fuels MH370 speculation

Plane debris found on the shore of the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean has fueled speculation that it could be part of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which mysteriously vanished more than a year ago with 239 people on board.

AFP reported that the debris, which appeared to be part of an airplane’s wing, was found by people cleaning the shoreline of the French island, which is located more than 500 miles east of Madagascar.

Sources tell CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues that Boeing investigators believe the debris appears to be from a 777 — the same type of aircraft as Flight 370.
