MH370: Mystery Of The Lost Flight Image

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370/MAS370)[a] was an international passenger flight operated by Malaysia Airlines that disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia to its planned destination, Beijing Capital International Airport in China.[1] The crew of the Boeing 777-200ER, registered as 9M-MRO, last communicated with air traffic control (ATC) around 38 minutes after takeoff when the flight was over the South China Sea. The aircraft was lost from ATC radar screens minutes later, but was tracked by military radar for another hour, deviating westward from its planned flight path, crossing the Malay Peninsula and Andaman Sea. It left radar range 200 nautical miles (370 km; 230 mi) northwest of Penang Island in northwestern Peninsular Malaysia.

Malaysia Airlines issued a media statement at 07:24 MYT, one hour after the scheduled arrival time of the flight at Beijing, stating that communication with the flight had been lost by Malaysian ATC at 02:40 and that the government had initiated search-and-rescue operations;[74] the time when contact was lost was later corrected to 01:21.[74] Neither the crew nor the aircraft's communication systems relayed a distress signal, indications of bad weather, or technical problems before the aircraft vanished from radar screens.[75]

In January 2015, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board cited Flight 370 and Air France Flight 447 when it issued eight safety recommendations[s] related to locating aircraft wreckage in remote or underwater locations; and repeated recommendations for a crash-protected cockpit image recorder and tamper-resistant flight recorders and transponders.[379][380]

If I'm watching a TV show and there is a plane crash, I will burst into tears and have nightmares for days afterwards. It's an uncontrolled reaction, caused by trauma. Because in 2014, I lost my partner, the American passenger Philip Wood, on the MH370 Malaysian Airlines flight.

MH370 isn't the first major case of an aircraft gone missing. But, it's certainly the most bizarre. Almost a decade after the incident, the mysterious case is revisited in Netflix's docuseries "MH370: The Plane That Disappeared." The three-part series spotlights several theories from investigators, journalists and family members on the plane's disappearance. Keep in mind, "MH370" doesn't offer a clear answer to the mystery at hand, but it does offer some new insight into what may have happened on that flight. 781b155fdc
