    Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

    The Boeing 777 that disappeared on the way to Beijing

    Open event

    On 8 March 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Boeing 777 flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, stopped communicating less than 40 minutes after takeoff, turned back across Malaysia and flew on for about seven hours, tracked only by satellite signals. The aircraft is believed to have come down in the southern Indian Ocean and has never been found, and the official investigation could not establish why it disappeared.
