There's a theory on the Internet...
Hijacking, mechanical failure.
A meteorite hitting it.
Pilot suicide.
Who knows?
So much about this flight simply doesn't add up.
It appears to be part of the wing system called the flaperon.
We are equally puzzled as well.
There is new information coming in that is reshaping the theories...
The search was in the wrong area.
They are lying from the beginning.
They're lying to the whole world.
Fuck Malaysia!
Malaysia is lying!
We don't have the answers.
This is one of the great mysteries in aviation history.
I had been living in Beijing
with my children for almost six years.
My children had been on school holidays in Malaysia and I was on my way to meet them
in Beijing to spend
the second week of holidays with them.
The day before, I had spoken to my wife.
Everything was fine. They were happy we were meeting.
And there was a message from my daughter saying,
"I'm at the airport in Kuala Lumpur."
"And I'm very happy because I'm going to see my daddy again."
Three seven zero, 32 Right for take-off. Bye.
32 Right cleared for take-off Malaysian 370. Thank you, bye.
Malaysian, uh, 370, maintaining level three five zero.
Malaysian 370, contact Ho Chi Minh 120, decimal 9.
Good night.
Uh, good night, Malaysian 370.
We have breaking news.
Malaysia Airlines confirms it has lost contact
with a plane carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
...6:30 a.m. in Beijing.
At this stage very sketchy details...
Just to re-- re, uh...
remind you of what we're finding out.
The flight number is MH370.
...Boeing 777 seems to have vanished into thin air.
On the phone with us now is the Malaysian Airlines Vice President of Operations.
Mr. Sharuji, I appreciate you being with us.
What's the latest that you can tell us about this aircraft?
Okay, uh, the aircraft has got about seven hours of fuel.
And we suspect that by 8:30 this aircraft would have run out of fuel.
At the moment we have got no idea where this aircraft is, uh... right now.
Vietnamese Air Force planes have apparently spotted
two large oil slicks in the area, off the southern tip of Vietnam.
Each of those slicks apparently about six miles wide.
Cathay Pacific pilot reported seeing large solid debris
in the ocean during a flight from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur.
We do know another pilot contacted flight 370
just before it disappeared.
The captain of the overnight flight to Tokyo was positioned 30 minutes ahead
and he called them on the emergency frequency.
He told Malaysian media,
"There was a lot of interference, static,
but I heard mumbling from the other end".
I was on the plane, on my way to meet my children.
I arrived at 4 in the afternoon in Beijing.
At that point, I'm heading out of the plane.
There was a hostess waiting for me,
who said, "Sir, please follow us." Now, I had no idea what was happening.
See you tomorrow morning.
Papa misses you too.
I love you.
Good night, Malaysia 370.
At that moment, the world stops.
“It's not possible!"
"It's a nightmare! Please wake me up!"
I said, "Are you sure?"
And at that moment, they answer, "No, we aren't sure of anything."
I'm at Terminal 3 at the moment.
You would expect there to be a lot of people here waiting...
Friends and relatives in Beijing
were sent to a city center hotel
to wait for news.
We just hope the Chinese government will send a search-and-rescue team,
because the Vietnamese government is not proactive.
We are working with authorities who have activated the search and rescue team
to locate the aircraft.
Our team is currently calling the next of kin of passengers and crew.
Thank you very much.
I was the last of the family members to get there.
You get out of the car and you're mobbed by journalists.
Mobbed.
There was a crazy amount of people.
Everybody is taking pictures of you and reaching out with microphones.
I remember my friends had to push all of them away so we could reach the room.
And then someone from Malaysia Airlines
comes up and says, "Sit there."
I ask, "What are we doing?" They say, "We're waiting."
All the families were there. They were mostly Chinese.
I couldn't even communicate with them.
And that's when I told my friends, "Please take me home, I can't stay here."
In Beijing, hundreds of family members and friends of the passengers on board
have gathered in the hotel.
They're growing increasingly frustrated
by the lack of information about their loved ones.
The room was full of people...
crying and wailing.
There were families in the corridor, leaning against the wall,
standing there, squatting down, sitting on the floor.
When I think about it now, that room was like a living hell.
That's not an exaggeration.
Some relatives of the missing passengers
say they've called their loved ones' cellphones
and instead of going straight to voicemail,
the phones continue to ring.
Suddenly, the daughter of one of the passengers ran up to us.
We could see her phone was showing an incoming call.
Uh, it was displaying "Papa."
She said, "What should I do?" "What should I do?"
I shouted back to her, "Pick up the call!" "Pick up the call!"
But sadly, when she tried to pick up,
the phone stopped ringing.
Many of us tried to call our families on the plane.
In many of these calls, there was a connection and a ringtone.
We requested that Malaysia Airlines and the government
follow the lead on the connected calls.
But their replies were always the same.
They didn't have the technology
to trace it further.
Um, it was incomprehensible to us, the families,
as this seemed the easiest way
to locate the passengers and the plane.
Sunrise in the water south of Vietnam,
brought an all-out search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370.
If it's landed at an airport, we'd know it.
Uh, it does not have enough fuel to be still in the air.
So this sure doesn't look good.
And we don't know anything,
we're not even sure of where that plane is.
There was a glimmer of hope today.
The Vietnamese thought they'd spotted a life raft,
but it turned out to be a cable reel.
And investigator's best lead came to nothing;
residue from an oil slick was tested in the lab.
They were looking for jet fuel,
but the oil came from a ship.
We went there. There is nothing.
There's nothing.
Sir, do you have any comment on the status of MH370?
...on the top of the 777 is an antenna...
But a team of clever technicians...
Extraordinary new twist in the disappearance
of Malaysia Airlines flight 370.
Malaysian officials now say the plane was hundreds of miles off course,
and flying in the wrong direction when last tracked.
Here are the latest developments.
It apparently turned the opposite direction
and flew to the Malacca Strait.
...the plane may have flown now for more than an hour
after disappearing from radar.
Good morning.
We're now hearing from Reuters quoting a Malaysian military source saying that--
There is a possibility that, that this aircraft made a turn back,
but we are not sure whether it is the same aircraft.
Good evening.
Military radars can't say particularly that this was even flight 370.
It can't even tell you what kind of aircraft it is,
whether it's a helicopter or an airplane.
It just says, "there's a target out there, here it is."
But it doesn't give you altitude or airspeed.
We had a house not too far from the airport.
I didn't know what else I could do, so I switched the TV on.
Search and rescue teams from Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore
are conducting a major...
The BBC and CNN had this story on a loop.
I sat in front of it and I realized I had to call my son now.
He was a student at the time in France.
That was the hardest moment
of my whole life.
The first thing he told me, I hadn’t said a word yet, was,
"Dad, please tell me they weren't on that plane."
I answered "Yes."
And then I heard a scream.
Seventy-two hours after the disappearance of flight 370,
40 ships and 34 aircraft have failed to find any sign of the jetliner.
Sir, where's the focus of your search right now?
Can you confirm if the plane has turned back?
You're searching east, you're searching west.
This is utter confusion now, isn't it?
I don't think so.
As far as we are concerned, we are equally puzzled as well.
Do you feel like we are getting the whole story?
Is it possible that some information is being held back at this point?
It's still difficult to understand why
they have withheld this information, given they would 've seen it
when it happened in real time.
Right away, my first reaction was to say,
" They're talking us for fools. They're mocking us."
Relatives threw water bottles at officials in frustration, they want some answers.
Excuse me, sir, why are you stopping us speaking to the relatives?
Why are you stopping us?
Turning now to new developments in a search
that's both unbelievable and unprecedented in modern times.
We're now entering a fourth day without a single sign
of that massive Boeing 777.
Jeff Wise, I've just read your piece before I came on air.
Absolutely fascinating theory.
Basically, what some pilots are talking about, I'm hearing,
is the idea that
perhaps the pilot or co-pilot of this plane,
uh, took control of the cockpit.
Who knows what the motive is to do something like this?
The point of the piece...
As multiple countries and crews search for that missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
So can you too, using your very own computer.
Here's how it works.
They're inviting anyone to go onto their platform, called Tomnod,
to view the high-res pictures of the area
where the Malaysia Airlines jet might have gone down.
The Air Force Chief told us more time and help was needed
to pin-point the aircraft's location.
Grieving family members long to know
where flight 370 went down.
This is the most security that we've seen so far.
They're obviously here to protect the Prime Minister.
Mr. Prime Minister, this is for American journalism.
Press conference later.
Today, based on new satellite communication...
we can confirm
MH370 did indeed
turn back over Peninsular Malaysia
before turning northwest.
We are ending our operations in South China Sea
and reassessing the redeployment of our assets.
Based on this new data,
we have determined
that the plane's last communication with a satellite,
was in one of two possible corridors.
There are stunning developments
in the disappearance of flight 370.
There is new information coming in
that is reshaping the theories...
The search was in the wrong area.
The aircraft could be anywhere in these two arcs...
...they're covering are so vast, hundreds of thousands of square miles.
370...
So, still no plane, but streams of data to sift through.
Good evening, the word from Malaysia tonight
is that whatever happened to Malaysia Airlines flight 370
was no accident.
The country's Prime Minister publicly confirming today
what has been a widely held suspicion,
that the plane was deliberately flown off course.
Sir, can you tell us what you were doing inside the house?
In Kuala Lumpur, flight 370 is now a criminal investigation.
This white police car has just raided the home
of the captain of MH370.
As I said before,
this is definitely not an accident.
Hi everyone, uh, this is a YouTube video that I made, uh...
The pilot's home flight simulator was removed by police
to see if perhaps the erratic route flight 370 took
was first rehearsed in cyberspace.
We took possession of a simulator, of a flight simulator.
The Malaysia Airlines center tells us,
"Get ready, there's an important press conference coming up tomorrow,
so be in front of your TV in the morning."
So deep down you're telling yourself,
"They're still alive."
"If there's no crash, they're still alive."
For quite some time, I kept communicating with them.
They had their phones so I kept sending texts.
Every night before going to bed, I would text them all.
"How are you?" "Thinking about you." "Here's what I did today."
It was a way for me to keep the dialogue going with them .
This evening...
I was briefed by representatives
from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch.
Based on their new analysis,
Inmarsat, and the AAIB have concluded
that MH370
flew along the southern corridor.
This...
is a remote location,
far from any possible landing sites.
It is therefore with deep sadness...
and regret that I must inform you
that according to this new data,
flight MH370...
ended in the southern Indian Ocean.
Fuck Malaysia!
Malaysia is lying!
Nothing had been found.
The exact location of the plane had not been determined.
There was some sort of calculation on the position of the plane.
But the result had not been verified.
To us, they were frantically trying to hide something
and wrap it up quickly.
Here, we the families of the 154 Chinese passengers on MH370,
vehemently protest against and condemn Malaysia Airlines,
the Malaysian government, and the Malaysian military!
- Bring our family back! - Bring our family back!
- Tell us the truth! - Tell us the truth!
We're determined to hold Malaysia Airlines,
the government and military accountable for their unforgivable crimes.
Parts of Beijing were in full riot mode today
as families descended on the Malaysian embassy to protest.
Bring our families back!
This is such a rarity in Beijing,
a public protest bringing the streets to a standstill,
but such is the discontent
amongst these family members,
they're allowed to do it.
The families had been yelling slogans like...
Tell us the truth!
"Malaysia is a liar."
Bring our families back!
"You are murderers."
We simply refused to accept
that the fate
of our 154 loved ones had been sealed by virtue of an announcement.
The rally itself was kept outside the Malaysian embassy fences,
out of the view of the world's media.
We felt really helpless.
And angry.
The chief executive of Malaysia Airlines
agreed to be interviewed for the first time today.
Our primary role is really to ensure we take care of the family,
and I think we've gone beyond our normal responses.
I think they'd say you haven't gone far enough.
Well, I think it's unfair. I think we've done all we can.
Malaysian 370, contact Ho Chi Minh 120, decimal 9. Good night.
Good night, Malaysian 370.
Good morning, everybody.
Yesterday, Malaysia Airlines flight MH17
took off from Amsterdam
and was shot down over Ukraine, near the Russian border.
