One of the biggest aviation mysteries that has never been solved is the day Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing. 9 years ago. The flight disappeared off the face of the Earth on 8 March 2014, and has not been found ever since. The airline operated a Boeing 777-200ER registered as 9M-MRO with 227 passengers and 12 crew. The flight went missing while taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing on 8 March 2014, but went astray, never to be found again. Although the wreckage was found a few years later, there is no conclusive evidence that an aircraft as large as the B777 went missing.
The Malaysian government declared all 239 people on board dead in January 2015 after months of searching. This made it the most mysterious and deadliest incident involving a Boeing 777 in the history of aviation. The incident also raises important questions about flight safety in modern times, as the advanced technology of our time could not help in locating the aircraft.

What happened?
Malaysia’s air carrier was operating flight MH370 with a Boeing 777-200ER registered as 9M-MRO, and flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China. The crew last contacted air traffic control (ATC) about 38 minutes after take-off 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 the Andaman Sea.
After years of searching, debris from the MH370 flight has been found, confirmed or believed, along the African coast and on islands in the Indian Ocean. Malaysian investigators had previously made no conclusions about what happened to the flight, but did not rule out the possibility that the plane had been deliberately diverted. Several theories accuse the flight’s captain of deliberately sabotaging the aircraft.
