ATSB: Flap section found in Tanzania is from MH370

The four other items comprise a flap track fairing segment, a horizontal stabilizer panel segment, an engine cowling segment and a panel segment from the main cabin associated with the Door R1 closet, which the ATSB concluded were “almost certainly” from the Malaysia Airlines 777. Part number 5 is the first item that the ATSB has definitively identified as being from MH370.

French air accident investigation agency BEA has also positively confirmed that a flaperon, found on Reunion Island on July 29, 2015, was from MH370.
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

I still wonder if the FDR and CVR ever will be found. Probably never, unfortunately. But one can still hope. :|

yeah, unless they can float or they're still attached to some bit of wreckage that the current is able to move, i doubt they'll be found...
