MH370 : un nouveau débris au Mozambique ? | Society Magazine

" 'I was traveling to Mozambique, he recounts today for the first time in Maputo I took the opportunity to say: why not not rent a boat and take a day to inspect the coast?'

Hours after his departure with three Mozambicans, the owner of the boat, 'Junior', calls Blaine. 'He pointed a finger something. It was a piece of plastic, light enough. Above, it is registered NO STEP '. The piece, triangular, measuring 94 centimeters wide and 60 centimeters high. It seems, says Blaine Gibson, come 'from the wing of an airplane.' "
At least someone is actively looking in likely places wreckage will wash up.

I wonder if that is a smaller fragment of a larger piece that may have broken up in surf?
