MH370 disappears
March 8, 2014
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 with 239 people aboard vanished from radar an hour after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur. Search teams from twenty-six countries combed the Indian Ocean for years. A few barnacled fragments washed up on African shores. The plane was never found, and conspiracy theories filled the empty space.
