Renewed Hope As US Company Claims To Have New Evidence On Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is widely regarded as one of the greatest mysteries in the history of aviation.

What happened on March 8, 2014

The Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur and was on its way to Beijing on March 8, 2014, when it disappeared from the radars, somewhere between Malaysian and Cambodian airspace.

In the days, weeks, months, and years that followed, the world's most expensive search mission comprising experts from several countries was launched to look for the missing MH370 and to date, only some 20 pieces of wreckage, of which some are believed to be from the ill-fated flight have ever been found.
