The first solid clue in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has been found. A wing part washed up on the French Island of Reunion off the coast of Madagascar, Africa.

MH370 is the only Boeing 777 known to me missing. 239 people were on board the jetliner flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
