On March 8, 2014, Malaysia flight 370 was lost en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. All 239 people on board are presumed dead.

Now Malaysian, Australian, French, and Boeing officials confirm that a flaperon, a part of the wing, that washed up on Reunion Island last week was part of MH370.

Reunion is over 3,500 miles from Kuala Lumpur.
