If MH370 did end up in the roaring 40's on the 7th arc or further south, the current could have broken up the wreckage, yet not further damaged the flaperon. The crash itself might not have been violent enough to detach the flaperon from the wing. Just a thought. Could have equally been ripped off by contact with the water on a glide or maybe it came off under the forces of that infamous nose dive and still broke on the thin unsupported edge when it hit the water. Looking forward to seeing if the French actually come up with anything to tell how it was detached.
And those barnacles being so small, would seem to indicate Reunion was the first time that bit of debris had been close to land. They are only a recent attachment.
