Carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, the Boeing 777 vanished from radar 38 minutes into its journey.

The Disappearance
MH370’s flight began routinely until it reached the edge of Malaysian airspace. After the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, signed off with "Good night, Malaysian three seven zero," the aircraft's transponder was deactivated. Instead of entering Vietnamese airspace, military radar recorded the plane making a sharp turn back across the Malay Peninsula. Satellite "handshakes" later suggested the aircraft continued flying south for six hours, likely until it ran out of fuel and crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.
