The theories that were out there that the plane had perhaps been flown to kazakhstan, that it was in a hidden hangar being repainted with other colors. that plane is somewhere in the indian ocean. this little bit of it, a piece that happens to float because its of aluminum construct with sealed chambers, that piece drifted around in the indian ocean and then washed up on the beach, but where is the rest of that gigantic 777? >> oliver mcgee is joining us on the phone. hes an aviation expert. tha...

Experts starting to analyze the flaperon. the wing is almost certainly from mh 370 because its the on 777 to crash into the ocean. it will focus on more than just identifying the piece. they will be using technology that could show whether the plane crashed in the sea or broke up in flight. did it fall out, was the piece ripped off? what they wont be able to find is why the jumbo jet feared off course and disappeared from radar. its unclear how long their analysis will take. oceanographers are a...

We learn about the possible scenarios of how that plane went down and why? >> we dont have enough of the aircraft wreckage. this is just a six to eight foot piece of the wreckage. the only thing you can really deduce from examination of this is the confirmation that it did come from a boingeing 777. it does confirm the airplane went into the water so it puts a lot of conspiracy theories to rest. but when you really examine it, the structural integrity, yeah it maintained structural integrity. th...

Is from a boeing 777. and then remember theres an international body of analysts grouped into this laboratory in tu loose, france including representatives from malaysian air and according to the prosecutor malaysian air said that due to the -- lets get the wording on this now -- the technical characteristics and the technical documentation that they could either see or they knew about this flap they could say not only was it boeing 777, but also it was our boeing 777. and it was basically mh 37...

Could even open the seal to the box to that flaperon. we know its from a 777 but we needed confirmation that its from mh-370 or at least for the passengers and crew members families and loved ones and hopefully, carol, at some point today well have some kind of information from what went on inside this lab. we have been told -- cnn has been told by the french prosecutors office that they will release a statement tonight about whats happened today. and if thats a big if if they do find something ...

The wing flap 657 bb but that identified as a part from a boeing 777. theyll look for any other serial numbers or paint that could identify it. each airline uses its own specific paint and numbers. so can we pin this to malaysian airlines? the second big question much much harder to work out, theyll be using a machine that can magnify up to 100,000 times to look at the damage on that aircraft part to see if there are rips and tears that might indicate the speed that was going out and that might ...

I want to bring in to join the conversation analyst captain john cox. and captain cox, so we have this confirmation, the flapperon from boeing is from mh-370. a lot a lot of people speculated that that was going to be confirmed because this was from a 777 and mh-370 was the only missing one on this planet. but bill brought up the important fact of finding the black box and the cockpit voice recorder. do you think that those will ever really be found? >> thomas i do. ive said this from the beginn...

Malaysian prime minister in saying this is absolute certainty. he has only said there is a very strong likelihood that this part of the wing does belong to the boeing 777 that was operated by malaysian airlines. so what they are going to do greta. going to come back again on thursday special unit compliment analysis. this additional testing the french is saying they will need it before they say for sure that this actually is hundred% from mh 370; greta? >> catherine isnt there is a serial number...

That might have identified that as coming from mh-370. there was one number on that piece of wing flap 657bb that identified it as coming from boeing but not from mh-370. the other identifier could have been paint. every airline uses a unique paint on its aircraft and looking for paint fragments to be visible after 17 months in the sea that might have identified it. we dont know exactly what it was that made them conclude it was from mh-370. again, thats maybe what the paris prosecutor will say....
