US amateur investigator Blaine Gibson speaks to the media after a meeting with the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau and the Joint Agency Coordination Centre in Canberra on September 12, 2016An American amateur investigator handed possible debris from missing flight MH370 to Australian officials Monday and said several pieces were blackened by flames, raising the prospect of a flash fire onboard. Mystery has surrounded the fate of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 since it disappeared on March 8, 2014, carrying 239 passengers and crew on a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), which is coordinating the search, said Blaine Gibson had handed over unspecified debris on Monday. Gibson told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the pieces could be a "real game changer" if they were found to belong to MH370. The debris was handed over as eight relatives of those onboard the flight had a private visit with ATSB officials.
