Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 – An Unsolved Mystery.

On March 8, 2014 a Malaysian Airlines jet carrying 239 people on board vanished from the
radar screens. The Boeing 777 was on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it
disappeared. Almost three years later the three countries that looked for the missing plane,
China, Malaysia and Australia, announced that the search was being called off. The
disappearance of Flight 370 is surely one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all times.

About an hour after it had taken off from Kuala Lumpur the pilots communicated with ground
control for the last time. Then the jet changed its course and turned south, flying towards the
Indian Ocean. Investigators claim that the plane had flown for at least another 5 hours before
crashing into the sea.

In July 2015, part of a wing was found on Reunion Island. Since then over 20 objects from the
missing plane have been found. The plane’s flight recorder, which could unravel what
happened on board, was never found.
