Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
See also: List of missing aircraft

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on 8 March 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board.[1] Malaysia's then Prime Minister, Najib Razak, stated that the aircraft's flight ended somewhere in the Indian Ocean, but no further explanation was given at the time.[2] Despite searches finding debris which nearly certainly originated from the crash,[3][4][5] official announcements were questioned by many critics, and several theories about the disappearance were proposed.[6] Some of these were described as conspiracy theories.[7][8]
