On this day: Malaysian Airlines Flight 370

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370/MAS370) was a scheduled international passenger flight that disappeared on 8 March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia, to its destination, Beijing Capital International Airport in China. The aircraft has not been recovered, and the cause for the disappearance remains unknown.

As we all know, this has been a hot topic the last few years in aviation, so I would like for us all to remember the ones who died on this day after disappearing over the South China Sea.

9M-MRO was the aircraft operating the flight. It is pictured below.

4 years ago…probably the darkest year in Malaysian aviation history. 2 MH crashes, 3 Malaysian planes lost.

I’ll always remember 9M-MRO as that stunning blue wavey livery aircraft. I’ve seen it before many times and even had a model of it.

Looks like MH370 will remain as one of the greatest aviation mysteries of all time, until we find out what actually happened to it.

4 years and it feels like yesterday. This serves as a reminder that although we can fly anywhere within 24 hours, the planet and especially the oceans are a massive place.

4 years has gone too quick. Hopefully we will eventually find out what really happened and hope it shall never happen again.

It took 3 years to find the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 of the coast of brazil. And they had way more information than the search team of MH370 has.

The wreckage will be found. It will take some more time, but one day it will be found even if it happens just by accident.

It feels like yesterday since that plane went missing. Time flies.

It is very creepy when a picture of the aircraft involved in an accident is shown.

Whenever MH370 is brought up I always get the chills, such a sad story and I dont know what more to say about it other than I feel really bad

I think its dumb to end the search for MH370 this year, we know it didnt fly to outer space, so why give up looking? Its obviously somewhere on Earth, and it should be findable.

It’s saddening to know that people are going to be giving up on the biggest aviation mystery since Amelia Earhart, but it’s whatever at this point, you just got to hope for the best.

I remember when MH17 was shot down, I was in the Army at the time and was at the clinic and saw the TV report. Just blew my mind that the Russians shot them down.
And then this, I can’t believe how fast time has gone by!

I think your approach is a little narrow minded. Searching is expensive. Like, really expensive. They have had like 4 searching rounds since the accident and covered a lot of ocean, with no results. Saying ‘it’s on Earth, so they shouldn’t stop searching’ isn’t a very insightful statement. I completely agree they should search as much as possible, but you have to understand the whole context.

I understand that cost is an issue, but this should be treated more serious than it already is.

I believe they will find it, but I think the wreckage is all over earth and it will be one of the most complex mysterys of aviation

We don’t know if it the russians tho:)
And I did not know this. Kinda shady.
