Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 comes to Netflix
The mystery surrounding the whereabouts of flight MH370, operated by Malaysia Airlines, arrives this Wednesday on the Netflix platform in the form of a documentary and coincides with the ninth anniversary of the enigmatic disappearance of the plane on March 8, 2014 with 239 people on board.
Over the course of three episodes, the documentary addresses the different theories about “the greatest aviation mystery of all time”: from a probable crash in the Indian Ocean caused by the pilot to the theory that points to a possible shoot-down in the South China Sea by the United States.
The documentary, titled “MH370: The Plane That Disappeared” and directed by Louise Malkinson, seeks to piece together a confusing puzzle with the little evidence found and the different explanations provided by aviation experts, engineers, data analysts, journalists and amateurs, EFE reported.

The broadcast coincides with the claim of Voice370, a group of relatives of the missing, which has again called for a new search for the aircraft, after concluding the previous two unsuccessfully, the last one suspended in June 2018.
“As long as we remain in the dark about what happened to MH370, we will never be able to prevent a similar tragedy,” the group called in a statement Sunday after holding a memorial service for the victims.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared 40 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing when, as it left Malaysian airspace and entered Vietnamese airspace, someone in the cockpit manually turned off the communications system and the transponder signal was lost.
Shortly thereafter, the plane, a Boeing 777, changed course manually – not mechanically or on autopilot – as it made a sharp left turn and headed back in a southwesterly direction over the Malaysian peninsula, then turned again and eventually left the radar zone.
