Vietnamese search team finds the door and tail of missing Malaysian plane

A Vietnamese search team has found what
they believe is part of a door and an airplane's
tail in the first major breakthrough in the hunt
for missing Boeing 777 flight aircraft, Wall
Street Journal reports
Debris from the plane have been located
around 50 miles from south-west of Tho Chu
Island, and investigators are narrowing the
focus of their inquiries on the possibility that
the plane disintegrated in mid-flight. (Pic

debris of missing airplane)
'The fact that we are unable to find any debris
so far appears to indicate that the aircraft is
likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000
feet,' someone who is involved in the
investigations in Malaysia said Sunday.

Meanwhile, one of the men whose passport
was stolen and used by a passenger on the
missing flight, 37 year old Italian tourist Luigi
Maraldi, had a press conference at a police
station in Phuket island, southern Thailand
yesterday and explained how his passport was
stolen in July 2013 on the island of Phuket.
Thankfully, he reported his passport stolen
and police have the record.
Yesterday, Luigi's father explained the original
was stolen after his son used it to hire a
motorbike.
'Last summer he was in Thailand and handed
over the passport so he could hire a scooter
but when he brought it back, they said they
had already given it back to someone else, so
he reported it stolen. The whole thing is a mix
up - we have no idea who the person was that
used my son's passport. The first I knew
something had happened was when my son
rang from Thailand on Saturday morning to
say he was alive.
The owner of the other stolen passport is 30
year old Austrian citizen Christian Kozel, who
only discovered his name was on the
passenger manifest when police officers turned
up at his home in Salzburg at the weekend.
'I was pretty shocked when I saw them at my
door, and was relieved to find out that
although I was dead, at least it was only on
paper.' Christian said.
He also reported his passport stolen in 2012.
The passport was stolen in the same part of
Thailand...
