Hippy Girl scoops the MSM & the ATSB -
Quote:Hippy Girl breaks MH370 news for Australia’s ATSB!

The two possible fragments of MH370 found on Mozambique shores arrived in Australia on Sunday morning from Kuala Lumpur according to an apparent media statement by Malaysia’s Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai posted on social media overnight by Hippy Girl.

Confirmation, however belated, is expected from Australia’s ATSB sometime today, perhaps even with a press conference by Liow’s new counterpart in Australia, Darren Chester.
The fragments were rested in Kuala Lumpur on their long journey to Canberra, where they will be examined by the ATSB, Malaysia officials and Boeing, which made the Malaysia Airlines 777-200ER which vanished on 8 March 2014 with 239 people onboard on a red eye flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
One fragment, found in last December by Liam Lotter, is stenciled with a number that matched the Boeing parts number for an access panel to the outer right hand side of a 777 wing.
Another, found in February by Blaine Wilson, appears to have been torn from the right hand side horizontal stabilizer of a Boeing 777, that being the stubby wings seen at the base of the tail which houses the vertical stabilizer.
Both fragments bore few traces of marine life.
It is assumed that the ATSB made sure that Australian Customs hasn’t seized the two potential parts of MH370 and cleansed them of all surviving vestiges of marine life colonization, which could prove critical to determining their provenance, and would in Australian law, apparently constitute unlawful interference with the wreckage of a plane crash prior to an official investigation.
Further developments are awaited.

The ATSB has responded to Plane Talking and Hippy Girl as follows:
Quote:Both pieces of debris were packaged in Africa and remained that way until arrival. They will be opened today with investigators from a range of countries and organisations in attendance. Procedures appropriate to maintain the integrity of this potential evidence have been followed. We do not anticipate any statements on the findings of the examination until the process is complete.

KUALA LUMPUR: The two pieces of debris found in Mozambique have arrived in Australia, where an investigation team will look for possible links to missing flight MH370, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai (pic).
Examination of the pieces, to be carried out by an international team of experts led by Malaysia, is expected to begin today.
“The MH370 Safety Investigation Team will carry out the examination and analysis on the two pieces of debris with the assistance of experts from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia (DCA), Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Boeing to verify their origins.
“This is in order to adhere to full transparency and accountability in accordance with international protocols, whereby both pieces of debris will only be examined in Canberra once it is in the presence of these experts,” Liow said in a statement here yesterday. - P2 -There's that statement again?? Ok then show us the true raw radar records and not the doctored ones presented at the Lido Hotel, Beijing, March 24 2014
Liow expressed hoped that the results from the examination could be made available soon.
If the pieces are indeed from Flight MH370, these would be the second and third parts of the Boeing 777 that had been found, two years after its disappearance.
The first piece of debris was recovered from Mozambique.
The second piece, also from Mozambique, had been brought to South Africa by the family who had discovered it.
A Malaysian team, comprising the DCA, MAS and the MH370 Safety Investigation Team, later retrieved the piece from South African authorities.
Last year, a piece of MH370’s flaperon was discovered washed up on the shores of French La Reunion Island.
On March 5, Liow said that a Malaysian team would comb the beaches of Mozambique in the hope of finding more aircraft fragments.
