A Malaysia Airlines Towelette, Potentially From Flight 370, Has Washed Up In Australia

Last July, an unopened towelette packet bearing the distinct Malaysia Airlines logo washed up on the west coast of Australia, sparking questions about whether it might be the first piece of wreckage from the missing MH370 flight. The towelette was turned into the local authorities last summer, but the news of its discovery was broken by Australia’s Nine News Tuesday. The news follows closely on the heels of the one-year anniversary of the plane’s mysterious disappearance on March 8, 2014 with all 239 passengers onboard. Authorities in Canberra, Australia, are currently testing the towelette to see if they can link it to the plane, but caution that the chance of establishing any firm link is low.
