the wing flap 657 bb but that identified as a part from a boeing 777. they ll look for any other serial numbers or paint that could identify it. each airline uses its own specific paint and numbers. so can we pin this to malaysian airlines? the second big question much much harder to work out, they ll be using a machine that can magnify up to 100,000 times to look at the damage on that aircraft part to see if there are rips and tears that might indicate the speed that was going out and that might tell us is the fuselage largely intact or did the whole thing simply disintegrate on impact. one other piece of science, they ll look at the shells, the barnicles on the aircraft part and trying to work out the temperature and chemical composition of the water that the part came from to allow those shells to grow. that might pinpoint where the aircraft actually is. but one leading french expert
to add to that analysis but there was a little bit of a difference. there was no question malaysian prime minister saying after 515 days we can tell you this aircraft part is from mh-370. paris prosecutor did not say that. and he did not reveal anything about how they reached that conclusion. he didn t talk about part numbers, serial numbers that might have been found on the wing flap. he didn t talk about the paint that malaysian airlines had to use. i mean i m not saying this is not a very big thing and the french are in some way casting doubt on this but the difference was quite interesting, thomas. you re right about this semantics of the words and the strong presumption that it belongs to a 777 boeing. not using mh-370 and also bill if i heard correctly, the suitcase, the discussion about the suitcase as well.
it is now at a national police lab in paris where people will be we don t know if the investigation into that has already started but the police will be trying to analyze that and to match it to the dna samples taken from the families and many of the families of the 239 people on board. and obviously, if there is some match then it would confirm even further that that suitcase like the aircraft part is from mh-370 but the other pieces found, we heard about over the week, a report of a door found, it was absolutely nothing. something wels a leather strap and turned out to be a household ladder. there was a piece yesterday that someone brought forward that looked like it might have been a window from the plane. again, that s been dismissed. a bottle from china. another one i saw from indonesia. it is right probably that people bring the pieces forward and so far all of those items have been
not here and the paris prosecutor, what allowed them to reach the conclusion that the part is from mh-370. there were ways they could do that, for example, they could look for a part number or a serial number that only malaysian airlines uses. they could look for paint fragments that might still be on that flap. that only malaysian airlines might use because every airline uses a unique kind of paint. they didn t whatever it was that led them to that conclusion, they didn t tell us here or in paris. but they have reached out very, very firm conclusion. now, that is only one conclusion, luke. the big thing is and they ll continue their analysis here, the second big question is, is there anything on that aircraft part that can tell us how or why or where mh-370 crashed? that is the big question that we still don t have an answer to. luke?
hunt. he s accused of killing officer shawn bolton saturday night. we ll keep you updated on the very latest development here. let s turn to france now. experts today will examine the part of the boeing triple 7 the part of the wing found last week. officials say we could get an answer in next couple of days on whether this fragment is part of malaysia airline flight mh-370 that disappeared last year. the plane veered off course with 239 people on board. bill neely is in southern france with the latest. reporter: good morning, jose. the experts are inside this specialist defense lab analyzing that aircraft part that was picked up from the beach in
