(CNN)- A piece of debris found on a French beach is indeed part of missing Malaysian Flight 370, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said.
The barnacle-encrusted plane part from the Boeing 777 washed up July 29 on the island of Reunion in the western Indian Ocean.
On Wednesday investigators met at a specialized laboratory in near Toulouse, France, to begin examining the part. Their work took hours and the Razak made the announcement very early Thursday morning Kuala Lumpur time, 515 days since the Kuala Lumpur-to-Beijing flight disappeared with 239 people aboard.
The part is known as a flaperon. It would be the first piece of physical evidence recovered from the Malaysian jetliner.
Waow! I wonder what really happened to the plane.
