Information may change rapidly as the ev ent progresses. (March 2014) Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 9M-MRO at Charles de Gaulle Airport in 2011 Missing aircraft summary Date 8 March 2014 Summary Missing Passengers 227 Crew 12 Aircraft type Boeing 777-200ER Operator Malaysia Airlines Registration 9M-MRO Flight origin Kuala Lumpur International Airport Destination Beijing Capital International Airport Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370/MAS370), also marketed as China Southern Air lines Flight 748 (CZ748) through a codeshare, was a scheduled passenger flight f rom Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. On 8 March 2014, the Malaysia Air lines Boeing 777-200ER operating the flight disappeared with 227 passengers of 1 5 nationalities and 12 crew members on board, following its last contact with ai r traffic control less than an hour after take-off. A joint search-and-rescue effort covering an area of 27,000 sq mi (70,000 km2) i n the busy Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea[1] is being conducted by mo re than 12 countries. Vietnam briefly reduced its efforts on 11 March, but the s earch area continued to expand and searchers began to look for evidence on land. [2][3][4][5] Two passengers boarded the aircraft using stolen passports raising initial conce rns that terrorism may have been involved.[6] Malaysian police later identified both passengers and determined they were not terrorists.[7] Contents [hide] 1 Incident 2 Search 2.1 Location 2.2 Response 3 Aircraft 4 Passengers and crew 4.1 Crew 4.2 Passengers 5 Investigation 5.1 Stolen passports 6 Communications and crisis management 7 Notes 8 References 9 External links Incident[edit]

Map showing the flight origin, destination, and the location where contact was l ast made with air traffic control over the Gulf of Thailand The flight departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on 8 March at 00:41 local time (16:41 UTC, 7 March) and was scheduled to land at Beijing Capital Int ernational Airport at 06:30 local time (22:30 UTC, 7 March). It ascended to its assigned cruise altitude of 35,000 feet (10,700 m) and was travelling at 471 kno ts (542 mph; 872 km/h) true airspeed when it ceased all communications and the t ransponder signal was lost. The aircraft's last known position was 655'15?N 10334' 43?E, corresponding to the navigational waypoint IGARI, at which the aircraft wa

s due to alter its course slightly eastward. The aircraft was also expected to c ontact air traffic control in Ho Chi Minh City as it passed into Vietnamese airs pace just north of the point where contact was lost.[8][9] Malaysia Airlines issued a media statement at 07:24 confirming that contact had been lost at 02:40 and that search-and-rescue operations had begun.[10] It later emerged that Subang Air Traffic Control had lost contact with the aircraft at 0 1:22 and notified Malaysia Airlines at 02:40.[11] Neither the crew nor the aircr aft's onboard communication systems relayed a distress signal, indications of ba d weather, or technical problems before vanishing from radar screens.[12] The ai rline reported in its eleventh press release that all its aircraft are fitted wi th Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS), a system tha t automatically transmits data about the status of the aircraft, but added "Neve rtheless, there were no distress calls and no information was relayed."[13] Search[edit] Location[edit] The search efforts generated multiple false leads. An admiral of the Vietnamese Navy reported that radar contact with the aircraft was last made over the Gulf o f Thailand, but it transpired that this result corresponded to the loss of radar contact by Subang air traffic control rather than the discovery of a crash site .[11] Oil slicks were located off the coast of Vietnam on 8 and 9 March and were thought to have possibly arisen from the aircraft. Test results reported on 10 March indicated that the oil slicks did not contain aviation fuel.[14][15] There were reports that a door or other fragment of the aircraft was found about 80 k m (50 mi) south of Th? Chu Island on 9 March. The following day, the Department of Civil Aviation Malaysia reported these claims were untrue; the floating mater ial was not from an aircraft.[16] Location of the Strait of Malacca The Royal Thai Navy shifted its focus in the search away from the Gulf of Thaila nd and the South China Sea at the request of its Malaysian counterpart, which is investigating the possibility the aircraft turned around and could have gone do wn in the Andaman Sea, near Thailand's border.[17] The chief of the Royal Malays ian Air Force, Rodzali Daud, claimed that military recordings of radar signals d id not exclude the possibility of the aircraft turning back on its flight path.[ 18][19] The search radius has been increased from the original 20 nautical miles (37 km; 23 mi) of its last known position,[20] south of Th? Chu Island, to 100 nautical miles (190 km; 120 mi), and the area now covers the seas to the Strait of Malacca along the west coast of the Malay Peninsula, with waters both to the east of Malaysia in the South China Sea, and in the Strait of Malacca along Mala ysia's west coast, being searched.[21][1][22] On 11 March, it was reported that military radar indicated the aircraft turned w est and continued flying for 70 minutes before disappearing near Pulau Perak;[23 ][24] it "changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made it into the Malacca Strait". This last location is approximately 500 km (311 mi) fr om its last position in contact with air traffic control.[25] However, the next day Rodzali Daud denied making the statements as reported in the media, requesti ng that the misreporting be "amended and corrected to prevent further misinterpr etations of what is clearly an inaccurate and incorrect report".[26][27] Vietnam has scaled back its search operations to await clarification from Malaysia due to the conflicting reports.[28] On 12 March, authorities also began to search the Andaman sea, north of the Stra it of Malacca, and Malaysian government has requested help from India to search in this area.[29] Response[edit] Australian RAAF AP-3C Orions are participating in the search.

The cockpit of 9M-MRO in 2004 Flight 370 was operated by a Boeing 777-2H6ER,[a] serial number 28420, registrat ion 9M-MRO. The 404th Boeing 777 produced, it first flew on 14 May 2002, and was delivered new to Malaysia Airlines on 31 May 2002. The aircraft was powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 892 engines,[67] and was configured to carry 282 passenger s: 35 in business class and 247 in economy class.[68] According to the airline, it had accumulated 53,460 hours and 7,525 cycles in service.[69] 9M-MRO had not previously been involved in any major incidents;[70] a minor incident while taxi ing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport in August 2012 resulted in signific ant damage to one of its wingtips, which broke off after striking the tail of an other airliner.[71] Its last maintenance check was in February 2014, which is 12 days before the incident.[69] The Boeing 777 is generally regarded by aviation experts as having an "almost fl awless" safety record,[72] one of the best of any commercial aircraft.[73] Since its first commercial flight in June 1995, there have only been two previous ser ious accidents. In January 2008, 47 passengers were injured when ice crystals in the fuel system of British Airways Flight 38 caused it to lose power and crashland just short of the runway at London Heathrow Airport. In July 2013, Asiana A irlines Flight 214 crash-landed on final approach to San Francisco International Airport. Three passengers died and 181 were injured as a result of that acciden t.[74] Both aircraft were damaged beyond repair.[75] Passengers and crew[edit] Nationalities of people aboard Flight 370 Nationality Pass.

All the crew members were Malaysian. The captain was 53-year-old Zaharie Ahmad S hah from Penang, who joined Malaysian Airlines in 1981 and had 18,365 hours flyi ng experience.[80] Zaharie was also an examiner qualified to conduct simulator t ests for pilots.[81] The first officer was 27-year-old Fariq Abdul Hamid, an emp loyee of Malaysia Airlines since 2007, with 2,763 flying hours.[82][83] Fariq re cently switched to flying the Boeing 777-200 after completing his simulator trai ning.[83] Passengers[edit] The majority of the passengers (152 of 227) were Chinese citizens. Thirty-eight passengers and all twelve members of the crew were Malaysian. The remaining pass engers came from thirteen different countries. The Chinese passengers included a group of nineteen artists with six family members and four staff, returning fro m a calligraphy exhibition of their work in Kuala Lumpur.[84] Twenty of the pass engers were employees of Freescale Semiconductor, a company based in Austin, Tex as. Twelve of these employees were from Malaysia and eight from China.[85] Malaysia Airlines has also sent a team of caregivers and volunteers dubbed GoTea m to provide assistance towards family members of the passengers.[86] In its pre ss releases, the carrier stated that it would bear the expenses of bringing fami ly members of the passengers to Kuala Lumpur and providing them with accommodati on, medical care, and counselling.[87] It was reported that only 10 percent of C hinese passengers' families took up the offer to travel to KL, and they ended up in India by mistake.[88] The airline offered an ex-gratia condolence payment of $US5,000 to the family of each passenger,[89] but relatives considered the cond itions unacceptable and asked the airline to review them.[90] Investigation[edit] Boeing has announced that it is assembling a team of experts to provide technica l assistance to investigators,[91] in accordance with International Civil Aviati on Organization (ICAO) protocols. In addition, the United States National Transp ortation Safety Board announced in an 8 March press release that a team of inves tigators had been sent along with technical advisers from the Federal Aviation A dministration to offer assistance in the investigation.[63] The country that wil l lead the investigation will not be determined until the missing aircraft is fo und.[92] Because a formal (ICAO-sanctioned) investigation has not yet kicked off , cooperation and coordination between involved parties could suffer, there bein g "a risk that crucial early detective work could be hampered, and potential clu es and records lost", according to experts.[93] The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has deployed technical experts and agents to investigate the disappearance.[94] However, a senior US law enfor cement official clarified that FBI agents were not sent to Malaysia.[95] United States and Malaysian officials are reviewing the entire passenger manifest in ad dition to the two passengers who were confirmed as possessing stolen passports.[ 96] Stolen passports[edit] At least two of the passengers were travelling with passports stolen from citize ns of European countries. Two men identified on the manifest, a 30-year-old Aust rian and a 37-year-old Italian, had reported their passports stolen in 2012 and 2013, respectively.[11][97] Interpol stated that both passports were listed on i ts database of lost and stolen passports, but that no check had been made agains t its database, noting that very few countries consistently use the database.[98 ][99] Malaysia's Home Minister criticised his country's immigration officials fo r failing to stop the passengers travelling on the stolen European passports.[99 ] The two one-way tickets purchased for the holders of the stolen passports were b ooked through China Southern Airlines.[100] It was reported that an Iranian had ordered the cheapest tickets to Europe via telephone. The tickets were paid for in cash.[101][102][103] A Thai police chief suggested that the tickets were boug ht for illegal Iranian migrants.[104] The two passengers were later identified a s Iranian men, one aged 18 and the other 29, who both entered Malaysia on 28 Feb ruary using valid Iranian passports. The head of Interpol said they were "inclin

ed to conclude that it was not a terrorist incident".[78][105][106][6] Communications and crisis management[edit] The loss of the flight has been marked by misinformation, and there are now doub ts as to the aircraft's possible location and trajectory.[107][108] Experts beli eve that although the initial stages had been well-managed by Malaysia Airlines, the increasing numbers of government officials commenting publicly created conf usion. Australian crisis management expert Mike Smith suggested that, as the dis appearance became of international concern, the Malaysian government failed to t ake control and to establish an emergency crisis control point where the informa tion could be disseminated in a responsible and truthful manner. Smith pointed t o contradictions, apparent "finger-pointing, rumours and innuendo ... from Malay sian officials, whose motives we can only speculate about".[109] Notes[edit] Jump up ^ The aircraft was a Boeing 777-200ER (for Extended Range) model; Boeing assigns a unique customer code for each company that buys one of its aircraft, which is applied as a suffix to the model number at the time the aircraft is bui lt. The code for Malaysia Airlines is "H6", hence "777-2H6ER".[66] Jump up ^ The manifest released by Malaysia Airlines lists an Austrian and an It alian. These have since been identified as two Iranian nationals who boarded Fli ght 370 using stolen passports.[78] References[edit] ^ Jump up to: a b c Hildebrandt, Amber (10 March 2014).
