A washed up debris in the French Island of Reunion a week ago was from the missing MH370 which went missing after taking of more than a year ago.

The Malaysian passenger jet was carrying 239 passengers and crew when it disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur on a journey billed for Beijing. Airport control lost contact with the pilot shortly after take off.

The plane's disappearance sparked a massive international search that involved several countries using the most advanced air and under-water scanning devices. Despite all the millions and man hours spent under tough condition, no reliable clue was discovered.

Investigators were forced to go back to their drawing board.  But a week ago, workers from a cleaning company saw debris on the French Territory and it was removed for further analysis and tests especially because no visible prints were seen on it.

The confirmation is expected to rekindle to search for whatever remains of the plane as investigators redirect their effort to determining whether it crashed on its own of was as a result of foul play.
