The search continues for the wreckage from the missing Malaysian flight MH370 on the indian ocean island of La Reunion.
Since a part of a wing said to belong to a Boeing 777 was found washed on the shore of the island search teams have been scouring the island for more debris.
More than a dozen objects have been handed in since, but so far, nothing is under consideration as linked to the missing Boeing 777 — save for a suitcase which is under examination near Paris.
French investigators are due to meet with their international counterparts in Toulousse on Wednesday.
Leaders of the countries participating in the international effort pledged to work more effectively together after a series of high-profile snafus.
Those included failing to brief families of the victims before publicly announcing that the plane was believed to have crashed; designating early search areas that turned out to be far from the area now believed to contain the crash site; and erroneously linking floating debris to the missing plane.
The French military agency that operates the lab where the flaperon will be examined has sophisticated equipment and expertise to quickly identify which plane the debris belongs to and what happened to it.
A source close to the French investigation, On Reunion Island, the search for more debris that might be linked to MH370 is continuing, with many people combing the shoreline near where the flaperon was found.
But so far, officials haven’t reported any leads as strong as the wing component.
“Today, a lot of people go to the beach and bring objects to the police, but we think it is nothing,” Jean-Yves Sambimanan, a city hall official from Saint-Andre, the town where the plane part was found, said Sunday.
Since vanishing, numerous theories and suggestions have been made about what caused the plane to disappear.
Several reports have suggested the plane actually crashed down near the Maldives.
