The Latest: Malaysia: High probability new debris from 777
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the investigation into debris found in Mozambique that may be from a Boeing 777, the same aircraft as missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (all times local):
Liow says a Malaysian team with representatives from the country's civil aviation department, Malaysia Airlines and investigators will be heading to Mozambique.
Charitha Pattiaratchi at the University of Western Australia said if the part was discovered on a sandbank as reported, the motion of the waves against the abrasive sand may have shaved off any sea life.
Pattiaratchi has used computer modeling to predict a Flight 370 debris path, and in September he met American Blaine Gibson, who's been searching the region's beaches for the debris and wanted the oceanographer's opinion on where to look.
