Authorities strongly suspect that a wing section discovered on Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean on July 29 was the first evidence to emerge from the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The Boeing 777-200 disappeared from radar 16 months earlier, on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
