CNN Aviation Correspondent Richard Quest offers a gripping
and definitive account of the
disappearance of Malaysian Airline Flight MH370 in March 2014.
On March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370
disappeared with barely a trace, carrying
239 people on board—seemingly vanishing into the dark night.
The airplane’s whereabouts and
fate would quickly become one of the biggest aviation mysteries
of our time... Richard Quest, CNN’s Aviation Correspondent, was one of the
leading journalists covering the
story. In a coincidence, Quest had interviewed one of the two
pilots a few weeks before the
disappearance. It is here that he begins his gripping account
of those tense weeks in March,
presenting a fascinating chronicle of an international search
effort, which despite years of
searching and tens of millions of dollars spent has failed to
find the plane. Quest dissects what happened in the hours following the plane’s
disappearance and chronicles
the days and weeks of searching, which led to nothing but
increasing despair. He takes apart
the varying responses from authorities and the discrepancies in
reports, the wide range of
theories, the startling fact that the plane actually turned
around and flew in the opposite
direction, and what solutions the aviation industry must now
implement to ensure it never
happens again. What emerges is a riveting chronicle of a tragedy that
continues to baffle everyone from
aviation experts to satellite engineers to politicians—and
which to this day worries the
traveling public that it could happen again.
