Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur carrying 239 people on board. Many lives lost including a construction worker who hadn't been home in a year .
The Aircraft is a Boeing 777-200ER operated by Malaysia Airlines.
Flight MH370 was a scheduled flight that disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia, to its destination, Beijing Capital International Airport in China, and was not found. Last made voice contact with air traffic control at 01:19 MYT, 8 March (17:19 UTC, 7 March) when it was over the South China Sea close to the south of Phuket island in the Strait of Malacca, less than an hour after takeoff. It disappeared from air traffic controllers' radar screens at 01:22 MYT, but was still tracked on military radar as it deviated westwards from its planned flight path and crossed the Malay Peninsula, until it left the range at 02:22 while over the Andaman Sea, 200 nautical miles (370 km) north-west of Penang in north-western Malaysia. The aircraft was carrying 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 15 nations. Before that, Malaysian authorities believe the last words heard from the plane, from either the pilot or co-pilot, was "Good night Malaysian three seven zero".
Half an hour later, the airline lost contact with the plane. It had been due to land at around 6.30am.
Research and evidence from a military radar suggested the plane had suddenly changed course. Dozen of rescue plane and ships were deployed for huge range of search and rescue operation. Malaysia had established the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to investigate the incident, working with foreign aviation authorities and experts. Malaysia released a final report on Flight 370 in October 2017. Neither the crew nor the aircraft's communication systems relayed a distress signal, indications of bad weather, or technical problems before the aircraft vanished.
Prime Minister Najib Razak claimed MH370 had been deliberately diverted by someone on board.
He added that they believed it had continued flying for more than six hours after losing contact with air control.
In the end, the search spanned to almost three million square mile - which is 1.5 per cent of the earth's surface.
A week after disappearing satellite images of possible debris appeared to suggest that the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, south-west of Australia.
But the search for the black box in this area was abandoned after nothing was found.
Last March 13, 2018 , someone received an Unknown message through voicemail and it is to believe that it is the black box message from Malaysian Flight MH370 says "S D A N G E R S O S
I T I S D I R E F O R Y O U T O E V A C U A T E B E C A U T I O U S T H E Y A R E N O H U M A N 0 4 2 9 3 3 9 6 4 2 3

What do you think happened to the missing airplane? No debris or parts found so could there be a high chance of survival? Should we hope that 239 people are still alive? Let's not put a conclusion and maybe we could wait what comes next from the investigation.
