Yahoo Autos Netflix docuseries 'MH370: The Plane That Disappeared': Will we ever solve the mystery?
"Planes go up, planes go down. What planes don’t do is just vanish off the face of the Earth," aviation journalist Jeff Wise says in the three-part docuseries.
A new Netflix documentary series, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, investigates possible theories in aviation's biggest mystery, the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
"Planes go up. Planes go down. What planes don’t do is just vanish off the face of the Earth," aviation journalist Jeff Wise says in the three-part docuseries.
What happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH370?
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, a red eye flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, was set to arrive on the morning of March 8, 2014.
Shortly after 1:00 a.m., as the plane approached the end of Malaysian airspace, being handed over to the next air traffic controllers in Vietnam, the plane went dark, vanishing from the radar. There were 239 people on board the plane.
Evidence emerged in 2015 that the plane diverted its course, towards the remote southern Indian Ocean. Later that year, some debris was eventually found on Reunion Island. But any debris found did not bring investigators close enough to solve the case of this mysterious disappearance.
After more than four years of investigation, the search for the missing plane came to an end in 2018 without any concrete information on what happened to MH370, after U.S.-based Ocean Infinity surveyed the Indian Ocean.
In 2017, the official search from the governments of Australia, China and Malaysia suspended their investigation of the Indian Ocean.
'A living hell'
In MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, filmmaker Louise Malkinson features journalists, scientists, investigators and family members of individuals who were on MH370, nine years after the plane vanished.
