Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 Disappearance Timeline

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing. Everything seemed normal at first, with routine communication happening at 1:07 am. However, things took a mysterious turn shortly after. By 1:21 am, the plane stopped sending its usual tracking signals. Despite this, Malaysian military radar still picked up the plane at 2:15 am, but hundreds of miles off course. By 3:45 am, all contact with MH370 was lost, leaving air traffic control and the airline worried and concerned. A ray of hope came later when a satellite spotted the plane at 8:11 am, though it was still far off course.

Sadly, this was the last time the plan made any sort of contact. Even though extensive searches were conducted, no wreckage or debris of the plane was found for a very long time. There are many people determined to solve the mystery of MH370. Many people have been conducting their own independent research, hoping to find new clues.

MH370 Discovery of Debris

The search for answers to MH370's disappearance took a turn in July 2015. The first piece of debris, a wing part called a flaperon, was found on an island far away from the search area in the Indian Ocean. Over the next year and a half, more pieces that had washed ashore on beaches in Africa and nearby islands were found. In total, 27 pieces were found. Experts confirmed 3 pieces definitely came from the MH370 and believed 17 others did too.

Two pieces were from the plane's inside, showing it broke apart at some point. However, they could not tell if this happened before or after hitting the water. However, there have been recent reports about finding the missing MH370 plane in the Cambodian jungle. These claims have come from an expert in the UK who believes he spotted the plane on Google Maps back in 2018. However, these are only claims and officials have not found any evidence of the plane being there. Elon Musk Revives Missing Flight MH370 Memories, Says No Evidence of Aliens.
