When finding any flotsam in the same area it may be tempting to link them, and if this was still mere days from the accident there may be some justification for that. But after all this time there is none.
True. However, it merits a more directed search for flotsam around Reunion most of my luggage has metal and plastic identity markers. I would suspect a fair proportion of luggage may contain identifiable articles. One suitcase merits your response - a wide spread of many suitcases would be something different. It is well worth a small surface search up current from Reunion. There could be witness marks on other pieces found that would provide more clues to what happened.
