The plane was expected to follow its usual route north-eastwards over Cambodia and Vietnam. However, the Malaysian military radars detected it proceeding westward over the Andaman Sea, south of Phuket Island on the Strait of Malacca.
At 24:11 GMT, a final satellite communication found that the MH370 was flying in either of the two flying corridors: the one between Thailand or Kazakhstan, or the one between Indonesia and southern Indian Ocean. And that was it. The Malaysian flight consisting of 239 members from countries like Malaysia, China, U.S, Canada, Iran, India and so on, just vanished from the world.
A total of 10 countries employed their air and sea facilities for a massive search operation, while China deployed its satellites to help.
Despite all the investigations, discoveries have only served to deepen the mystery. A few family members of the flight passengers have called the missing passengers' cell phones and were shocked to find they were still ringing:
That's not all, two men aboard the MH370, both Iranians, named Pouria Nour Mohammad (left) and Seyed Mohammed Rezar Delawar (right), as seen on the picture alongside, were caught travelling with fake passports. When caught, a certain Mr. Ali booked their tickets so they could travel without harassment in the flight. The Interpol, nonetheless, has confirmed that the two had no terrorist links, and weren't involved after all."This morning, around 11:40 a.m., I called my older brother's number twice, and I got the ringing tone," Bian Liangwei said. She then dialed the number and watched as the phone rang multiple times before disconnecting.
Wait, that's not all, Australian images show possible debris on the Indian Ocean, as can be seen in the photo above. The picture was declared the "best lead" in the search investigation, although they haven't yet been physically located by search parties owing to weather problems disrupting the search.
A group of fishermen claimed to have found a life raft at Port Dickinson, Malaysia. It reportedly sunk as they tried to return it to the authorities. Nevertheless, it may or may not be connected to MH370.
As for now, even the pilot is a suspect (no offense), as American investigators have found that files had been deleted from the captain's hard drive after February 3rd. Although they are not accusing anyone directly, everyone's a suspect now. Malaysian Prime Minister himself claims that the plane was deviated from its initial route by "deliberate action" from inside the plane.
