(CNN)—Malaysia's Transport Ministry said Thursday that more plane parts have washed up on the same remote French island as a wing part that is believed -- with varying degrees of certainty -- to be from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The new items found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean include pieces of windows, seat cushions and aluminum, Malaysian officials said. But they added that it's unclear whether the objects, which still need to be verified by French authorities, are from MH370. "The team told us they have managed to collect more debris on the island and we have handed it over to the authorities in France," Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai told reporters. "A plane window and some aluminum foil ... there are many items." French officials on Reunion and in Paris, however, haven't reported any new plane debris. And an Australian agency helping coordinate the search for the missing airliner said Wednesday, the day before Malaysia announced the discovery of new items, that there was no indication so far of any more aircraft debris. "A great deal of additional material has been handed over to the police" on Reunion, Australia's Joint Agency Coordination Centre said in a statement. "While this is being examined, so far none of it appears to have come from an aircraft." The Australians are in charge of the underwater search for Flight 370 in the eastern Indian Ocean, thousands of miles from Reunion. Malaysia has overall responsibility for the investigation into the loss of the plane. Although Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that the wing part found last week, which is called a flaperon, is certainly from MH370, other officials have expressed more caution and say that more testing is needed.

shrapnel holes in wings?

Nobody has ever suggested that there would be any reason for there to be "shrapnel" in this wreck. Is this a new CT??????

A 'wing' washed up last week and saw a sketchy pic that look like shrapnel damage. Slept since then. Sorry no link.

After what? six months? this has to be bogus.

It takes months for debris to float across the planet. The debris from the 2011 Japan tsunami is still hitting the West Coast this year: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/08/05/mountains- of-debris-from-the-japanese-tsunami-have-floated-to-the-west-coast/ (link won't "Auto", it's too long, you'll have to cut/paste)

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed on early on Thursday that a Boeing 777 wing segment discovered in the Indian Ocean island of Reunion is from the missing Flight MH370, the first real breakthrough in the search for the plane that disappeared 17 months ago. "The international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370," Najib said in a televised statement. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared in March last year enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew on board. news.yahoo.com/malaysia-c...ris-is-from-flight-mh370- 175849596.html#

I'm not seeing any. Google "barnacles on hull" and click on images for examples.
