On 8th March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 lost contact with air control and disappeared.
Now, over a year later, plane wreckage has been found on the island of La Reunion - which Malaysian authorities have now confirmed is from the missing flight.
Speaking in an early morning televised address, Prime Minister Najib Razak said: ”Today, 515 days since the plane disappeared, it is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that an international team of experts have conclusively confirmed that the aircraft debris found on Reunion Island is indeed from MH370.”
This adds credence to the theory that the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean after diverting from its route to Beijing.
However relatives of those lost on board remain unconvinced by the find.
Jacquita Gonzales, the wife of a MH370 flight attendant, told Reuters: "They still need to find the whole plane and our spouses as well. We still want them back."
Lee Khim Fatt, whose wife was a flight attendant on MH370, told the BBC: "I'm not convinced by the finding. I want to see an item that I can recognise."
And Zhang Yongli, who lost his daughter on the doomed flight, was one of many who believes that this latest discovery is nothing but a cover up.
According to Reuters, he said: “I don't believe this latest information about the plane, they have been lying to us from the beginning.
"I know my daughter is out there, but they won't tell us the truth."
However, despite mounting disbelief from conspiracy theorists online, Malaysia Airlines have described the find as "a major breakthrough."
"We expect and hope that there would be more objects to be found which would be able to help resolve this mystery," it said in a statement.
The debris is now being taken to mainland France for a full investigation, and the search field for the rest of the debris has been widened.
According to reports, investigators now believe that the wreckage proves that someone have deliberately switched off the aircraft's transponder, diverting it off course and deliberately crashing it into the ocean off Australia.
