AP interview: man finds possible Malaysian plane debris
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An American who discovered an aircraft part in Mozambique that may be from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 says he initially thought it was part of a much smaller plane.
Blaine Gibson, who has been searching the region's beaches for the debris, said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press that a boat operator who took him to a sandbank named Paluma called him over after seeing a piece of debris with "NO STEP" written on it.
Gibson says the discovery happened after he decided to go "somewhere exposed to the ocean" on the last day of a trip to the Mozambican coastal town of Vilankulo.
