PARIS (AP) A senior Malaysian official says that an object found in Reunion has been confirmed as "a domestic ladder" and is not a plane part, amid media reports that a new piece of plane debris was found on the island.
Malaysian Director General of Civil Aviation Azharuddin Abdul Rahman told The Associated Press that a piece of debris found on a beach near the town of Saint-Denis on Sunday morning had nothing to do with the investigation involving the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Rahman said "I'm the one leading the investigation in France for the analysis of the (wing flap) piece brought back. I read all over media it (the new debris) was part of a door. But I checked with the Civil Aviation Authority, and people on the ground in Reunion, and it was just a domestic ladder."

Earlier:
A second piece of suspected plane debris has washed ashore on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion, after a wing part suspected to come from the missing flight MH370 was found on Wednesday.
The object, believed to be the door of an aircraft, was discovered just south of the city of St Denis.
It is said to have writing on it and possibly some illustration.
The Malaysia Airlines plane from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared last March with 239 people on board.

Which you might find on a Malaysian plane if it regularly flies a route to China, I suppose. But it's possible this is something else.

(53,235 posts)real news on teevee. But then, teevee doesn't do real news, so what can I expect?

(3,746 posts)That was later retracted.
So instead of simply leaving the original story, I helpfully updated it.
Obviously this isn't good enough for snarky fucks...
