The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 vanished on March 8 in one of aviation’s greatest mysteries. Flight 370, carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared without a trace, prompting a vast search across the Indian Ocean.
An initial international operation to find the wreckage off Australia’s west coast yielded no results, with no debris found.
