Piece of debris on the shore of the remoentte Indian Ocean Island appears to be from a 777. It disappeared with 249 people on board in march of 2014. The debris is a flapper from a wing was found on reunion island. 2,300 miles from where the plane is believed to have gone down. At least where they have been searching. We have cnns david molkov with us. Reporter 239 families are watching. They are counting on them. No physical debris of mh370 has ever been found. Australians say the french are looking into this. A number of clues coming out in the last couple of hours. A number on the piece, bb670. Australians say that is not a registration number. John they are looking at the barncles on this. The deputy Prime Minister spoke about the likelihood this piece of debris is from the missing plane. This is obviously a very significant development. Its the first real evidence that theres a possibility that a part of the aircraft may have been found. Its too early to make that judgment. Clearly we are treating this as a major lead. Reporter john, they are proceeding with caution. If this is identified as from the Malaysia Airline flight will it help them find the plane. The lead investigator says the fact this is picked up is consistent with the current search area. They believe the plane is still there, but experts including oceanographers believe because it traveled so far over 16 months it is doubtful they can trace it back and reduce the search area. John the search continues. The search is renewed this morning. David, tell me about this piece of debris. This flapper. If it really is from a boeing 777, it would almost have to be from mh370 correct . No other 777 has gone down in the indian ocean and as far as we know none other is missing that kind of part. Reporter john that certainly seems to be the case. We heard from many aviation experts. I spoke with some who understands these waters well. He says whatever has washed up near reunion would have had to come from the east and the southern atmosphere. John a lot of caution this morning as investigators take a close look. This is an International Effort with malaysia france boeing and australia joining and looking closely, john. They have to get this right for the sake of those families. Especially after all this time and so many false turns. David molko, thank you so much. Cnn is on reunion island. Our correspondent robyn kriel landed there a short time ago. She is making her way there along the coastline. It was discovered by people cleaning the beach. Robyn is joining us by phone. Explain to us where reunion island is. Reporter it is in the indian ocean, john. A French Island middle east of madagascar. The continent of africa. Everyone is talking about the discovery, possible discovery of mh370. Not confirmed as of yet. It is a small island. Volcanic island. Yes, the debris washed up on beach. It is a French Island. The French Air Force has a base here. They are conducting the search. They are awaiting malaysian authorities to take over the search and waiting for other authorities to arrive. The australian consultation safety board. They want to get this right. I imagine they are also looking elsewhere on the coastline to see if they can find any other pieces. Reporter indeed. It doesnt necessarily mean john, because they found one piece that they will find a lot more pieces. It could be one piece that is floated to the particular area. It is not an exact science like the head of the aviation safety board saying a number of factors come into play. Wind current and weather has something to do with it as well. It is not ruling out inconsistent with the drift modelling they had been studying. It is not inconsistent with the search area they are covering. This is part of search area john. Family members cannot believe how far away if this is part of mh370 they cannot believe how far away it is from the original destination. That will come into the investigation as well. As far as you know having investigators arrived from malaysia and from boeing and elsewhere or is this the investigation involving reunion island officials . Reporter john it took us considerable effort to get here and we were close. Were nairobi, kenya. I believe it would take others quite a while to get here. It is not an island you can get direct flight. You have to take a trip through madagascar. There are not a lot of flights. What we can tell you, boeing has not yet said that piece with whatever that number is presumably a maintenance aircraft number, boeing has not said that is a piece of their part. They would know if that was a piece of their part. They would know if it belonged to a 777. That might be because they need to talk to airline officials. When i talked to an expert and he said the fact it could be their part. He said it may be a case they havent spoken yet and woken up the necessary people in the necessary time zone. It is not an emergency, like a day after the crash, and survivors in the sea. This would not be dealt with as say the first 48 hours of the aircraft crash. Robyn kriel we will let you get back to the reporting. Robyn kriel on reunion island where the piece of debris possibly from mh370 was found. It looks like a flapper from a 777. They are waiting confirmation. Boeing could figure that out quickly, but robyn said they want to be 100 correct. 99 is not enough. Families anxiously awaiting this morning. The families of the passengers and crew have been waiting and mourning since the plane disappeared. If ultimately this is a piece of the wing then that little thread of hope i have been holding on to will have to break. And reality will have to take over. Up until now, i and most of the family members have continued to believe that until we have a body we cant give up hoping they will come back. Theres no such thing as closure. Most of the passengers on mh370 were chinese citizens. The crew from malaysia. Cnns Andrew Stevens spent time with their loved ones in the days of the disappearance. He joins us now. Good morning, andrew. Reporter good morning, john. 239 souls aboard mh370. I have been staying in touch with many of the family members particularly here in kuala lumpur. I have been speaking to them in the last couple hours. They are saying at the moment we have been here before john. You remember just after mh370 disappeared, there was a lot of speculation. A lot of false leads and false reporting about the actual plane being found which turned out to be untrue. They are just not prepared at this stage until there is a complete confirmation. This is why there is so much confirmation coming from the authorities. They are not prepared to think this may be part of the plane. Interestingly, the deputy transport minister here in malaysia told reporters a couple hours ago, he is almost certain this flapper as it is being called was part of a 777. He did not say it was 370, but it was part of a 777. The people i have talked to say are torn between the fact they want to know exactly what happened to their loved ones. They dont want to know. They dont want that feeling that it is over. That they have lost their loved ones. They are still talking to me about the possibility of a miracle. It is that sort of hope against hope which is still here john. You hear that here in malaysia. You also hear that in china. 15 nationals from 15 nations on that flight. It is slowly going at the moment. Malaysians will be responsible for identifying and saying where this piece of debris is coming from. They will work with boeing and the french. The australian deputy Prime Minister said it still could be some time before we get to know exactly what that piece of debris is and where its from. Andrew stevens, thank you. Let me read some of the statements. We will follow the developments and hope to receive the confirmation as soon as possible. We dont want to hear 99 guarantee from authorities. We need confirmation of 100 certainty certainty. The families say if this debris is from mh370 it will not answer all of the questions they have. Lets talk more about what investigators are looking at right now. Joining us is justin greene. He is a former military pilot and president of the International Air and safety bar association. Justin, thanks for coming in. You had a chance to look at pictures. Let me get your first thoughts. It is probably the number one lead thats come out since the airplane disappeared. I think i agree 100 you need 100 . Until we know for sure professionals will not confirm this is from a 777 or from Malaysia Airline 370. What we know is a big piece of debris. About nine or ten feet. It looks to be a flaperon. The airplane has aerlons and yaw which means turning the airplane. A flaperon combines the features of the airline. It helps turn the airplane. As the airplane is landing, it goes down like flaps. It changing the camber of the wing. I heard experts say it is a large piece of debris. That indicates that perhaps this plane had a somewhat controlled landing. That is to say it didnt drop from the sky in absolutely get obliterated as it hit the water. I think it came apart as a component. Obviously there is damage on the part which indicates there was an impact with the water. The degree of damage is going to show that what you said. What was the impact force. It also confirms how the airplane went into the water. As you said before it will not answer all of the questions. It is the first piece of the puzzle. We heard a lot of talk about the barncles on the piece of debris. They can tell their own story. If you look at the disciplines involved here. Oceanographers taking a look at the currents. Where they found this on reunion island, if the plane indeed crashed where they think it crashed. Second thing, marine biologists. A lot of questions. I think perhaps most importantly is whether where it is found and when it is found will have the investigators reexamine where they are now looking. You can try to trace it. It is every day. If you think about mathematically and im not an oceanographer, if you think every day that component has been affected. Every storm changes the trajectory in the water. I think it is a general sense of whether it could have come from somewhere. They will not trace back a year or 16 months and find it in the water. It may never lead to the black boxes. This piece of debris tells its own story. With air france they were able to look at smaller pieces on that and find some things out. In any case it can rule out a number of things. If there was an explosion, damage on components might be seen. If there is no damage consistent with an explosion, that might tell you a little bit about that. It is really too soon to tell what information they will arrive from there. It is too soon to tell the families that this is in fact a 777. They should be able to find that out quickly. One thing they will find out quickly is we will know 100 and there will be official confirmation. Justin thank you. I appreciate you coming in. We are covering the latest all morning on the missing Malaysia Airline 370 and the piece of debris washing up on shore on the remote reunion island. First, donald trump calls for a mass deportation. How does he plan to get it done . New this morning, donald trump revealing how a President Trump would reform immigration. The gop frontrunner said he would deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants and then let what he calls the good ones back in. We have our interview with dana bash. Reporter john, donald trump is leading in the polls for lots of reasons. The thing that propelled him is the stance on illegal i am immigration. He talked about it when the other candidates did not want to talk about it. The question has been for donald trump what exactly are his plans beyond building a wall with mexico and so forth. I started by asking on that issue the question about the 11 million or maybe more undocumented immigrants in this country. Listen to part of that. I want to get the bad ones out. Not only the ones in the prisons, and by the way, they are never coming back. The ones going around in San Francisco and shooting kate and shooting jamill. Then we have a law, right . You are supposed to come in legally. I would put people out and have an expedited way of getting them back in the country so they can be legal. When you say get people out. Are you talking about a mass deportation . We dont know who these people are. How do you find them . We have to find them. How do you do that . You are a bus guyiness guy. We will find them. We will get them out. You say get them out. Just the process of that. There are a lot of smart people who have been focused on this for a long time and say this is not feasible. It is feasible if you know how to manage. John not an entirely fully formed position on immigration specifically on what to do with the undocumented people in this country. When it comes to the whole idea of dreamers. The young people who came through this country through no fault of their own, it was interesting to hear donald trump say out loud about what his position could be. Also it will be interesting to see how that plays out when he is standing next to nine other candidates. Competitors for the republican nomination during the debate next week. Dana bash thanks. Our breaking news this morning, a piece of debris found on an island in the indian ocean. Investigators scouring it right now. Could it be from missing Malaysia Airline flight 370 . We have a reporter on the scene. We are breaking it down all morning. Stay with us. Running my own shop has been brutal. But then i got a domain and built my website all at godaddy. Now i look so professional i just got my first customer who isnt related to me. Get a domain website and email starting at 1 month all at godaddy. The breaking news this morning. A Major Development in the search for missing Malaysia Airline 370. The piece of debris recovered in the indian ocean. Initial indications appear to be from a 777. Cnns tom forman has more. Reporter this piece of debris is about seven feet long and three or four feet wide. We are told it is consistent with a 777 made by boeing. Lets bring up a model of the missing plane and talk about where you would find it on the plane. Our aviation analysts say it would likely be on the back side of the left wing here. A controlling flaperon. It meets the first part of the test for a match. It is the right type of piece to find. It is also the right color and right condition. It has barncales over it. You have to check out the identifiers. Almost all pieces have serial numbers on it. If the serial number matches the malaysia air flight, then thats the deal. They will know they have evidence of what happened to that plane. Doesnt answer the question how did it wind up where it is. Remember all of the search areas for the plane were over near the coast of australia over here. How did this get all the way over there some 2,300 miles or more away. Thats where they have to look at the currents and see if ocean currents were Strong Enough to push it to reunion island and give us maybe the First Physical piece of what happened to the missing plane. Thanks tom foreman for that. A piece of debris found on reunion island. 2,300 miles away from where they have been searching for mh370 mh370. We we have a reporter live on reunion island with information. Coming up after the break. The breaking news this morning. A piece of debris washes up on island. The same type the same color as missing mh370. We have Live Team Coverage breaking it all down. We have a report from this island starting right now. Welcome back to early start. Im john berman. We want to welcome our viewers in the United States and around the world. A possible break through for the hunt for Malaysia Airline 370. A piece of debris on the shore of an island in the western indian ocean appears to be from a boeing 777. A boeing 777 is the model of mh370 which disappeared with 239 people on board in march of 2014. Some 500 days ago. The debris apparently a flaperon from a wing found on reunion island. That is 2,300 miles from where the plane is believed to have gone down. At least thats where they have been searching. Cnn correspondent robyn kriel is there on reunion island and joins us with the latest. Good morning, robyn. Reporter good morning, john. Yes, reunion island a French Island about a population of just under 1 Million People and abuzz with the news it could be the piece of what looks to be a wing flap. A flap there iseron. The piece of the missing plane that the plane has been missing for 500 days. Family members not able to believe that this plane could have gotten so far away from its original destination if it turns out to be a piece of that missing aircraft. The australians have been charged with the investigation and trying to figure out where it is. They have been doing a lot of searching for the missing aircraft john. This is what the deputy Prime Minister had to say about this latest discovery. This is obviously a very significant development. Its the first real evidence that there is a possibility that a part of the aircraft may have been found. Its too early to make that judgment but clearly we are treating this as a major lead. Reporter a major lead does turn out to be. We heard from a number of experts who say from what it looks like and what they can tell all indications seem to be this piece does not seem to have been in the water all that long. It looks like it has been there a year. It has barncles and shells on it. If it matches the part of the aircraft and boeing, the manufacturer could identify that part they could tell by the number that is etched on it that they can somehow match that with their part records if it is perhaps an airport maintenance log. It could be. They say it could be a major lead and could lead to eventually to the finding of the wreckage itself or the reason why the aircraft went down. If it is part of the aircraft. Robyn, who found it and where was it found and who has it now . Reporter we understand it is in the authorities of the French Air Force. They are looking at it. The French Police dragged it up from the beach and regular people found it. They found it floating and they called authorities. This has been the sight of aircraft crashes before. Not this exact island but in the vicinity. It is a wide stretch of the indian ocean. We have seen big crashes here. Various other crashes. None of 777. If this flaperon turns out to belong to a 777, that is the aircraft type of the missing mh370 that will help narrow down the search. Again, boeing not commenting at this stage. Saying they cannot comment on the ongoing investigation. They will be able to tell from that number. That key crucial number if it is one of their aircraft parts. As of now, robyn, this is the only piece of debris we know about . Reporter as of now, yes. Of course people really starting to look. As i said this is a French Island. French air force have a base here. They will participate. It is confusing who has jurisdiction. In airline crashes, authorities, malaysian authorities have had jurisdiction up until now. Australians being able to search as well. The Australian Authorities saying that this is not inn consistent with where it could end up given all of the studies they have done. They look at the gyres and currents of the ocean and weather and various weather patterns. They say this is not inconsistent inconsistent. One of the areas where they thought it could be. Robyn kriel for us on reunion island. Great to have a reporter there on the scene. Thank you so much robyn. Anxiously awaiting word if this debris is from mh370. The families of the passengers and crew missing since the many disappeared. If ultimately this is a piece of the wing then that little thread of hope i have been holding on to will have to break and reality will have to take over. Up until now, i and most of the family members have continued to believe until we have a body we cant give up hoping they will still come back. It has to be so hard for family members. Most of the passengers were chinese citizens. Cnns Andrew Stevens has been in contact with the families since this happened some 500 days ago. He joins us from malaysia. Families this morning, andrew weary. Reporter weary and anxious and nervous. These are words that have been used in the family members i have been speaking to. The words from sarah bajc are common. They have been hoping 500 days on. They still have this faint, faint belief that a miracle could have happened john. At the moment, you mention the word weary. They will not make a decision on whether these reports are actually true until it is 100 confirmed. You can understand why they think that. There were many false leads and false reports at the beginning of the search for mh370 in the first weeks that it went down. Many of those led to nothing. Families are weary. 153 chinese nationals on the flight. The biggest number of nationals on that flight. Interestingly, the families have been collectively speaking to the media. This is what they said in a statement. I just want to read this to you. This does encompass what most of the families are thinking. We will follow the developments and hope to receive the official confirmation as soon as possible. We do not want to hear guarantees of 99 likelihood. We need confirmation of 100 certainty. Certainly that is what im hearing here in kuala lumpur. People are saying we heard the reports. Interestingly, john they are getting most of their information from us from the media. There has been very little communication officially from malaysian authorities. No communication at all as far as im aware from the malaysian authorities to the families of the people on board that flight. They are waiting. We hear from the deputy transport minister saying he is almost certain this wing fragment is from a 777. He doesnt link it to 370, but certain it is from a 777. The families say to a person we want full truth this is the case. . A lack of communication with the families. Sadly consistent with the last 500 days. Andrew stevens in malaysia. Thank you so much. How likely is it that this piece, this missing piece from a plane, is from mh370 . Joining us now to discuss this is justin green. A former military pilot and president of the air and safety bar association. Justin thanks for being with us. Justin if this piece, this flaperon is from a boeing 777, it has to be from mh370. There is no other plane that went down anywhere near this place. There have only been four 777 crashes ever. How hard will it be to find this out . As soon as they have a person on the scene, it will be quickly to confirm . It will be easy to confirm. My guess is authorities and boeing probably already know, but they are doing right thing and they dont want to say until they are 100 certain. Just think of one thing. Im sure it was measured already. If the measurements match, it is likely a 777. The families want confirmation. They say 99 is not enough. They want 100 certainty it is from mh370. I imagine finding out it is from a 777 is the first step. Review for us what this piece from the plane does. What does a flaperon do . The airplane has flaps and aerlons. It controls the airplane and rolls. As the airplane wants to turn the two aerlons turn and cause the airplane to roll. The flaperon does the same job as flaps and increases lift and allows the airplane to fly slowly as it is landing. It helps turn the airplane. Thats why it is called a flaperon. They have been looking for 500 days. 2,500 miles from where this piece washed up. A piece of debris could have floated all this way . Most of the wreckage is thought to have sunk and most likely at the bottom. It is unlikely that large pieces of the wreckage have been floating. So what they said is this is a possible location and their analysis of the currents it is possible that a wreckage could end up on reunion island. If this is from mh370 and look it is looking more and more like it could be this morning. If it is the fuselage the main part of the plane with the black boxes, could still be at the bottom of the sea. I think what is key information, a lot of information will come out if this is the part from the airplane. One of the issues i think is most important, it may have them take a look at where they are now looking and maybe move their search area or increase their search area. This will be the most analyzed sevenfoot piece of metal. What clues could this provide . It will tell the investigators how the airplane impacted the water. It will perhaps rule out a major explosion or a missile strike or Something Like that. If there is no evidence of that or at least indicate that is unlikely. It will also the barncles that you mentioned before one thing the families will have is a little convenient they find this piece. The fact it has evidence it has been in the water for a year would suggest this is not some sick prank by someone. We are waiting word. Waiting confirmation this is from mh370. Justin green, thank you. We will cover every angle of the story all morning long. The piece of debris on reunion island. Cnn has a reporter there. We will get back to her in a moment. First, donald trump calling for the deportation of 11 million illegal immigrants. He tells cnn why hes the only one who can get it done. Thats next. New this morning, donald trump reveals how a President Trump would reform immigration. The republican frontrunner said he would deport all 11 million undocumented immigrants and then let all the good ones back in. Our reporter dana bash has more from her interview with donald trump. Reporter john donald trump is leading in the polls for lots of reasons, but probably the thing that propelled him early on was his stance against illegal immigration. The fact he took on the issue at a time when the dozen plus other republican candidates really didnt want to talk about it as much as they had in past election years. The question has been for donald trump what exactly are his plans beyond building a wall with mexico and so forth. I started by asking on that issue the question about the 11 million or maybe more undocumented immigrants in this country. What would he do about that. I want to get the bad ones out. Not only theones in prisons and by the which they are never coming back. The ones in San Francisco shooting kate and then shooting jamill. We have a law. I would get people out and have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal. Hold on. When you say get people out. Are you talking about a mass deportation . We dont even know who these people are. How do you find them . We have to find them. How do you do that . You are a business guy. We have to find them. Politicians arent going to find them. They have no clue. We will find them. We will get them out. Still, get them out. Just the process of that. There are a lot of smart people focused on this for a long time saying it is just not feasible. It is feasible if you know how to manage. Politicians dont know how to manage. John not an entirely fully formed position on immigration specifically on what to do with the undocumented people in this country so far. When it comes to the whole idea of dreamers. The young people who came to this country through no fault of their own. It was interesting to hear donald trump say out loud, almost think out loud what his position could be. It will be interesting to see how that plays outstanding next to the other republicans during the debate next week. Dana thank you so much. Our breaking news this morning. A piece of debris on reunion island. 2,500 miles away from where they have been searching for mh370. Is this the break through they have been waiting for . We have a reporter live on reunion island. We have developments. Stay with us. Breaking news this morning. A Major Development in the search for the missing Malaysia Airline 370. A piece of debris recovered in the island on the western indian ocean. It does appear to be from a boeing 777. Cnns tom foreman with more now and how officials can figure out it is from the missing malaysian jet. Reporter this piece of debris is about seven feet long and three or four feet wide and were now told it is consistent with what you would find on a 777 made by boeing. Lets bring up a model of the missing plane and talk about where you would find it on the plane. Our analysts say it would likely be on the back side of the left wing. A controlling flaperon. It meets the first part of the test for a match. It is the right type of piece to find. It is the right color and right condition. It is consistent with something in the water with 500 days roughly. Now you have to check out the identifiers. Almost every part on the big aircraft has serial numbers on it like this seat cushion from a different plane. If they find the serial number on the other part and it matches the malaysia air flight then thats the deal. They will know they have evidence of what happened to that plane. Doesnt answer the question how did it wind up where it is. Remember all of the search areas for the plane were over near the coast of australia over here. How did this get all the way over there some 2,300 miles or more away. Thats where they have to look at the currents and see if ocean currents were Strong Enough to push it over there to reunion island and give us maybe the First Physical piece of what happened to this missing plane.
