Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared in 2014, and it has never been found. In 2015 the first piece of debris from the airplane was discovered, the right wing flaperon, which washed ashore on Réunion. Over the next year and a half, 26 more pieces of debris were found on the shores of Tanzania, Mozambique, South Africa, Madagascar, and Mauritius. Three of the 27 pieces were positively identified as coming from flight 370, and 17 were thought to have likely come from the plane. The debris locations were used to narrow the search area in the Indian Ocean, but the wreckage was never located.
