“Police in Reunion examining the wreckage say that it looks like it’s been in the water for about a year, which again would fit with MH370. We can’t say for certainty, but we do think there is a chance that this is it.”
Adjutant Christian Retournat, a member of the French Air Force in Reunion told CNN: "It is way too soon to say whether or not it is MH370. We just found the debris this morning in the coast of Saint Andre."
The part of the aircraft in question is believed to be a flaperon – the part of the wing that controls the roll and bank of an aircraft.
The Beijing-bound Boeing 777 disappeared from radar with all 239 souls on board on 8 March last year, an hour into its departure from Kuala Lumpur.
If the debris is not connected to the disappearance of MH370 it will raise questions as to where it is from.
How would this IN ANY WAY be the end to the mystery? Finding a piece of debris thousands of miles away doesn't any questions about why the plane crashed, where it crashed, what caused it...
Yeah, around 700 kms east of Madagascar and over 6500 kms west of the area they searched for MH370. But I'm sure the wayward sea current could move it there.
I hope it really is MH370. Then the relatives of the passengers can finally make peace.

It'll open up a new area of search, maybe they'll find more debris, hopefully the black box, and the get some real answers.

Réunion is like 4,000 miles away from MH370's last recorded location. If anything this raises more questions.

If this turns out to be part of it, then no it's not the end, but it is what they needed to know where to look. The search right now is no where near that.
