NEW wreckage from doomed flight MH370 supports theories the plane was crashed into the ocean on purpose.

Analysis of a wing flap, which washed ashore in Tanzania, suggests the plane plunged into the sea in a ‘death dive’.

Australian Transport Safety Bureau staff examine the wing flap found off the coast of Tanzania
 
Search for missing MH370 to be suspended if current operation failsExperts have said the wing flap was not deployed at the time of impact, ruling out a controlled crash landing, 7 News has reported.

It is more than two years since the Malaysia Airlines flight vanished with 239 people aboard.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has said the flap is still being tested.

But, the head of the organisation's search for MH370 Peter Foley told Australian Associated Press (AAP) that analysis of the flap suggested it had not been deployed when the plane hit the water.

A pilot attempting a soft landing would have been expected to extend the wing flaps.
