OVERVIEW
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was a
scheduled international passenger flight
from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing that
disappeared on 8 March 2014 at 01:20MYT
less than an hour after takeoff.
There has been no confirmation of any flight
debris and no crash, resulting in many unofficial
theories about its disappearance.
The only evidence of the plane's flight path after
it disappeared from military radar over the
Andaman Sea are communications between the
aircraft and a satellite over the Indian Ocean
DISAPPEARANCE
The flight departed from Kuala Lumpur
International Airport on 8 March 2014 at
00:41 local time.
The aircraft's final automated position report
using the Aircraft Communications
Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS)
protocol was sent at 01:07MYT.
The final contact with air traffic control(ATC)
occurred at 1:19MYT.
The crew was expected to contact air traffic
control in Ho Chi Minh City as the aircraft
passed into Vietnamese airspace, just north
of the point where contact was lost.
The aircraft's last known position from
secondary radar was on 8 March at 01:21MYT
at the navigational waypoint in the Gulf of
Thailand, at which the aircraft made a sharp
turn westwards, heading towards a waypoint
in the Strait of Malacca, when the
transponder signal was lost.
