On Saturday March 8, 2014, A Malaysian plane, MH370, departed from Malaysia Airlines and to this day hasn't been found. The plane is carrying 239 people who were of various nationalities, jobs, ages, and legal statuses. The plane is a Boeing 777-200ER, of which Malaysia Airlines has several. The plane has a excellent safety record so this type of thing isn't usually common. After 15 minutes of flying, Subang air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane between Malaysia and Vietnam. At 2:40 am that Saturday morning, the last known location of the plane was over the small island of Pulau Perak, an island in the Strait of Malacca, which was not on the scheduled flight pattern. Scientists, engineers, and other airports and airplanes have been trying to locate the plane since then and haven't gained a significant amount of progress on the mystery.
I think this is something akin to the Bermuda Triangle and if not, then the plane's antenna or and location accuracy on it must've been damaged.
But for the plane to be missing for this long, something serious must have occurred!
