Recently, some debris from a Boeing 777 airplane has been found. The debris washed up on an island in the Indian Ocean. This is the same type of plane that went missing from a Malaysian airline, a MH370. This raises many questions as to what happened to the long- time missing aircraft. CNN reported of this event.

The debris was found on Reunion Island

Everyone knows the mysterious story of the Malaysian aircraft that went down over a year ago with 239 people on board. This horrifying story can only be thought of as disturbing, scary, sad, etc. In this way, the CNN report immediately makes an emotional connection with the readers. This connection, in addition to the interesting topic, keeps the audience moving down the page. The pathos aspect of this report is crucial to getting their report the attention it desires while also giving a compelling story.

Further along the report, CNN addresses the doubt that some readers may have that this specific piece of debris was from that exact plane. CNN includes an expert on this topic and a quote from Martin Dolan, the head of the Australian agency coordinating the underwater search for the plane. He says ,”The only 777 aircraft that we’re aware of in the Indian Ocean that could have led to this part floating is MH370, but as I said, we still need to confirm that through closer study.” Experts are fairly confident this debris is from the missing plane.

If this is debris from the MH370 that will lead to a huge breakthrough as to the whereabouts of the plane and the people on the plane in addition to the huge question surrounding this event, WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?!?
