http://www.wpbf.com/article/debris-found-from-plane-missing-in-bahamas-search-continues/9866515A seat from a Mitsubishi Corp MU-2B twin-engine turboprop, the same aircraft that lost contact with air traffic controllers en route to Florida from Puerto Rico, was found among other debris on Tuesday 15 miles (24 km) east of Eleuthera, Bahamas, Coast Guard Petty Officer Luke Clayton said.
"We are assuming that it is (from the lost plane) because of the location - where the debris field location was - and there was a fresh fuel slick in that area," Clayton said.
The Coast Guard confirms the material found came from the same type of airplane. The search is expected to go on throughout the day.
