MH370 plane wreckage claimed to be found on Philippine Island

MH370 plane wreckage claimed to
be found on Philippine Island
Plane wreckage containing 'many skeletons' and
painted with the Malaysian flag has reportedly
been found in the Philippines, prompting
speculation it could be missing Flight MH370.
Police confirmed they had received reports of
the discovery in thick jungle on the remote island
of Sugbai in Tawi-Tawi province.
An audio technician, Jamil Omar, contacted
police in Malaysia to say his aunt, Siti Kayam,
had stumbled upon the wreckage while she and
others were hunting for birds.
Police commissioner Jalaludin Abdul Rahman,
said the woman claimed she climbed into the
smashed fuselage and saw skeletons.
He said: 'Mr Jamil claimed his aunt had
entered the aircraft wreckage, which had
many human skeletons and bones.
'She also found a Malaysian flag measuring
70 inches long and 35 inches wide.'
According to local media reports: 'There was a
skeleton still in the pilot's seat. The pilot had his
safety belt on and the communication gear
attached to his head and ears.'
Speculation grew that the wreckage could belong
to the missing Malaysia Airlines flight that
disappeared in March last year with 239 people
on board.
Police remain reserved about the report, mindful
of confirmation by French authorities that part of
an aircraft wing – a flaperon – found on the
island of Reunion in the west of the Indian
Ocean earlier this year had been confirmed as
being from MH370.
It would be unlikely that the flaperon had been
able to drift from the Philippines to Reunion,
given that land – Borneo, the Malaysian mainland
and parts of Indonesia – would be in the way.
However, police are understood to have not
dismissed the possibility that the flaperon could
have broken off from the aircraft after it took off
in March last year to fly from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing, the missing part causing the pilots
problems in handling the jet.
Adding to the general mystery is the report by oil
rig worker Mike McKay who told the Mail
exclusively earlier this year that he stood by his
observation of an 'aircraft on fire' as he stood at
night on his rig off the southern tip of Vietnam.
For MH370 to have come down on remote
Sugbai island, it would have had to divert from
its north east course after take off and head due
east towards the lower Philippines islands.
