777 Flaperon found

Looks like they found a 777 flaperon in Reunion Island.....maybe something about MH is found?

If it is will put to rest the nut case stories around the internet.

Nut case story

Scoreboard. Would you like to expand on how finding a component of the missing Malaysian B777 washed ashore will dispel the "Nut case story" ?

It's probably because a large part of the trailing edge is missing. Comparing it though to engineering diagrams for the part there is no doubt in my mind it's from a B777.
