Still no sign of Malaysia Airlines Flight 3

On this day, March 8, 2014 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, carrying 329 passengers and crew disappeared off radar en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Nine years later there is still no account of the missing  aircraft. It is almost beyond belief that the plane disappeared without trace.

The lack of official information in the days immediately after the disappearance prompted fierce criticism from the Chinese public, particularly from relatives of the passengers, as most people on board Flight 370 were of Chinese origin. Several pieces of debris washed ashore in the western Indian Ocean during 2015 and 2016; many of these were confirmed to have originated from Flight 370.

Four months later, on July 17, 2014  Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over Ukraine.
