This is an important week for families and friends who lost loved ones on the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 which disappeared over two years ago during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Right now, there’s a meeting going on between Malaysian, Chinese, and Australian authorities involved the search mission to decide whether on not they will continue with search efforts as the two-year search deadline looms.

While this meeting is ongoing, more possible debris have been found on Nosy Boraha island, off the coast of Madagascar, by American lawyer, Blaine Gibson. Gibson has been looking for the plane – and spotted a metal fragment with the words ‘no step’ printed on it earlier this year in Mozambique – found a collection of bags on an 11 mile stretch of beach on the island.

Some of the items he found this week were an Angry Birds backpack that could have belonged to a child on board the plane, a number of handbags, a rucksack that is severely damaged, and a laptop case with a ‘MENSA’ logo on it, according to reports by NBC  News.

Gibson has passed along these items to an organisation called Air Crash Support Australia in hopes that families of the missing 239 people might be able to identify the items.

To date, a total of 40,540 square miles of the total search area in the Indian Ocean has been scoured by search vessels looking for the planes main body and black box to no avail. The remaining 5,792 square miles will be covered in the next month or so, but authorities are now discussing the possibility of calling off the search which has cost over $130 million, according to Bloomberg. So far, all the debris that has been found were discovered by civilians, not the expert search teams.
