The three-part Netflix series attempts to piece together the timeline based on evidence that emerged in the weeks and years following the disappearance. “This is a world where we have mobile phones and radar and satellites and tracking, and so to be nearly nine years down the line … and still have so little is extraordinary.” “It’s the greatest aviation mystery of all time,” said Louise Malkinson, the director of MH370: The Plane That Disappeared. And speculation, as aviation experts, engineers, data scientists, journalists, hobbyists and more tried for years to piece together a confounding puzzle of evidence into an explanation for the disappearance of MH370. Devastation, as next of kin suffered through hours, then days, then weeks, months and years of question marks and inconclusive searches. Obsession, as the disappearance transfixed international audiences and prompted armchair theories for a seemingly impossible mystery. Shock, as officials scrambled to find the aircraft and loved ones waited in Beijing for a flight that never arrived. What followed, as recounted in a new Netflix series on the disappearance, was delayed confusion, on the part of Malaysian controllers and the airline. Commercial airplanes are supposed to be reachable at all times, known and tracked, but MH370 was gone. All subsequent attempts to contact it were unsuccessful. Seconds after it crossed into Vietnamese airspace, MH370 disappeared from radar.
Zaharie never checked in with Vietnamese controllers. It was the last anyone heard from the flight. Malaysian three-seven-zero” – he didn’t repeat the frequency, but not unusual. Malaysian air traffic control radioed to pass the flight off to Ho Chi Minh. At 1.19am, MH370 approached the end of Malaysian airspace. The first 40 minutes of the flight were unremarkable.
