Malaysia Flight 370
TRT

Host Intro:
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on March 8, and after almost a month, no trace of the plane
has been found. There were 227 passengers and 12 crew members aboard the aircraft. The
transponders on the plane were shut down, making it invisible to commercial radar. Military radar
detected the plane shortly after, but only detected the plane once. Officials have not yet ruled out any
causes of the transponder shut off, including a hijacking or a mechanical failure. As of April 2,
investigators are searching a 85,000 square-mile patch of the Indian Ocean, no clues have been
discovered. One question remains on everyones mind: what happened to the missing plane? Kean
University senior, Sara Voza, has this to say about flight 370:

Its a cover up for something.
Host Close:
On day 28 of the investigation for the missing plane, hope of finding the plane may be coming to a close.
The plane was equipped with underwater locating beacons, known as pingers, which are only
guaranteed to work for 30 days. According to CNN, these pingers, which were scheduled for battery
replacement in 2012, were never sent to the factory. The pingers may have already died, but
investigators continue their search for the plane and its 239 passengers. Im Sandra Burns for the sound
