New possible MH370 debris shows signs of fire on board



ADVENTURER and MH370 sleuth Blaine Gibson has brought what he believes is the most significant piece of potential wreckage from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane to Australia for analysis.
The fragment, found by three locals on the east coast of Madagascar and passed on to Mr Gibson, appears to have come from the interior of a Boeing 777 and exhibits signs of having been exposed to fire or a great heat.
“The top layer of paint has been singed, scorched black,” Mr Gibson told Channel 7 Perth overnight after touching down in Australia.
“(It’s significant) because it appears to be from the interior of the plane but not the main cabin, perhaps the cargo hold, perhaps the avionics bay.”
Mr Gibson personally handed over the debris to Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) investigators in Canberra this morning.
If confirmed to have come from the plane, it will be the first evidence that a fire — possibly an electrical one — brought down MH370 rather than the actions of a suicidal pilot.
MH370 fire? ?Debris? found in Madagascar could be a game changer

Wow. I wonder if residue testing could still yield anything?

Fire one

Who's to say that the plane landed intact on the sea and then the perpetrator set fire to it afterwards? So many bizarre events suround this mystery that it may not be so straightforward, even if tests can link the latest debris to the specific T7 involved

When you don't like the obvious answer try for the least likely conspiracy theory.

It is common practice to gather and burn beach debris, would not read anything into this EVEN if it is really T7 debis and does show scorch marks

I have always thought this disappearance was fire based. BUT big But no way does that explain the aircrafts track.
