MH370: Malaysians say parts of windows, seat cushions have washed up
Source: CNN
CNN)Malaysia's transport ministry said Thursday that more plane parts have washed up on the same island as a wing part believed -- with varying degrees of certainty -- to be from missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Those new items, which the Malaysians described as pieces of windows, seat cushions and aluminum material, will be tested by the same international team of experts who are examining a piece of a wing that the Malaysians said Wednesday is definitely from MH370.
Less than an hour after the Prime Minister's statement on Wednesday, Paris Deputy Prosecutor Serge Mackowiak used slightly less definitive language. Mackowiak said that there were "very strong presumptions" that the debris from the French island in the western Indian Ocean was from MH370, but certainty was not yet possible.

Whether it is or is not a part of some kind from an airplane, or from MH370 is yet to be determined, but this was latched onto last week as "part of a window" despite the fact that it in no way resembles a 777 window.
The lengthwise opening in the piece of plastic the guy is holding, is no longer than his hand. The windows aren't that small, even on the emergency doors (there is an image of a 777 emergency door, but I can't hotlink the picture).
