In 2014, East Asian airspace surprised the world in a way that has yet to be resolved. Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8 this year with the aim of taking passengers to Beijing. As is customary, no one took this into account: thousands of flights fly around the world every day, and most passengers arrive on schedule. However, the surprising thing is that this time everything did not go as per plan.

MH370 disappeared from radar hours after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur and was never found. An earlier message from the board was: “Good night, Malaysia.” No one could have guessed that this phrase would be heard for the last time on MH370.

Immediately after the unexplained disappearance, a large-scale search for the missing aircraft began. Rescue teams from several countries used everything they had at their disposal to search the ocean floor, including hundreds of warships, aircraft, and helicopters, as well as state-of-the-art equipment.

All efforts were directed towards solving this mystery, and everyone hoped that the plane would be discovered as soon as possible. However, time passed, and no trace of the lost aircraft was found.

What happened to Flight 370? How was it possible for such a huge and modern aeroplane to disappear without a trace? It sparked a heated debate and gave rise to many conspiracy theories. Many scenarios were presented, from the jet crashing into the sea to an alien attack or its theft, espionage operations, illegal use, etc.

However, the official narrative remains unchanged: MH370 exploded and crashed into the Indian Ocean off Western Australia. The final identification and search of this location continued for a long time without success, and some uncertainties remained. It’s still a mystery.
