With the second anniversary of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 coming up next week, a possible new piece of debris has been found near Mozambique in southeast Africa, NBC News reported.
A photo released by NBC News shows what appears to be a piece of wing, believed to be from a Boeing 777. No other Boeing 777 is known to have been lost in the Indian Ocean besides MH370.

After disappearing while en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014, the flight was not confirmed as having crashed in the Indian Ocean until August 2015, when a section of flaperon, also commonly known as flap, was found on Reunion Island and confirmed as having come from the missing jet.
“I urged [sic] everyone to avoid undue speculation as we are not able to conclude that the debris belongs to #mh370 at this time,” Malaysia Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said via Twitter.
One hundred fifty-two of the passengers were Chinese, most of them from Beijing. A number of Beijing-based expatriates were also aboard, including most members of a French family, a couple traveling without their children, and a businessman on his final flight to Beijing before completing a move to Kuala Lumpur.
A massive search off the west coast of Australia has yet to discover any wreckage from the plane.
