Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, in what remains one of the most perplexing aviation mysteries in history. The Boeing 777-200ER was carrying 239 passengers and crew on a scheduled flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport. Approximately 40 minutes after takeoff, the aircraft lost contact with air traffic control and vanished from radar over the South China Sea.
Key Facts and Timeline:
Last Communication: The final verbal communication from the cockpit, "Good night Malaysian Three Seven Zero," occurred at 1:19 AM local time as the plane left Malaysian airspace.
Radar Tracking: Military radar later showed that MH370 deviated sharply from its planned route, turning westward over the Malay Peninsula and the Andaman Sea.
Satellite "Handshakes": After losing radar contact, the plane continued to send automated signals, known as "handshakes," to an Inmarsat satellite for several hours. Analysis of these signals suggested the aircraft ended its journey in the southern Indian Ocean.
