This is only coming out now

Edit:Nevermind, looks like it was dismissed-

"But the investigation dismissed the reports, insisting it would have been impossible for the plane to have been anywhere near the islands."
I believe this came out at the time of the disappearance, but was dismissed as unreliable by the Maldivian government (and I suppose also because of the satellite ping data). Now, if the Maldives debris is truly from MH370, they will probably reexamine this possibility.
