Pascal Roaches, an aerospace professor at France's School of Aerospace Engineering, released a statement on Monday claiming that despite the possible discovery of a piece of wreckage from MH370, more information is needed to discover the plane's fate.

"I doubt that we can know everything about the accident from such a piece of wreckage. I think we still need more parts and objects from the plane to find out what happened, what had caused that to happen, and where the plane is. Now we only have one piece of wreckage, it is too small compared with the size of the aircraft."

The piece of debris found on Reunion Island will be tested on Wednesday at the Aeronautical Technologies Center of the General Directorate of Armament under the French Defense ministry.

The test follows a meeting between French and Malaysian investigators on August 3.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai has emphasized that people should not speculate that the wreckage is in fact from MH370.

"As all of you know that undue speculation is giving a lot of stress to the next of kin and also people waiting for the news. So let us not speculate. I am as anxious as all of you to know the verification result. I will inform as soon as we get the confirmation."

MH370 disappeared on March 8th of last year enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people onboard, two-thirds of whom are Chinese nationals.
