He woke up in the morning and headed for the airport. When he arrived, her flight information was not displayed. The Malaysia Airlines staff there “didn’t have any information on … what time the flight was coming in” either.
“I was already feeling a bit apprehensive that something had gone wrong. Then I sat there, by which time I was already very emotional because …,” he trailed off.
It has been 10 years since MH370 vanished into thin air. It is still one of the world’s most baffling mysteries after the largest, most expensive search in aviation history.
On board the aircraft were 227 passengers and 12 crew members, from 14 countries. For their family members, the pain of loss persists.
Can they find closure? Will the missing plane ever be found? These questions, and more, are covered in the documentary MH370: A Decade On, which airs tomorrow. (Watch it on CNA at 9pm.)
VARIOUS THEORIES, FRUSTRATION FOR FAMILIES
One of the earliest theories about the missing plane was that it was the work of terrorists, as two Iranian passengers were found to be travelling on stolen European passports.
While this theory was debunked, more conspiracies emerged. One conspiracy suggested the plane had flown towards a restricted American military base on the island of Diego Garcia and was shot down.
Others believe hostile parties had targeted the plane, intent on preventing a cargo of sensitive electronic equipment from reaching its destination.
Aerospace expert Jean-Luc Marchand and pilot Patrick Blelly have since combined their technical and operational backgrounds to try to make sense of the disappearance from the facts available and more accurately depict the events that led up to it.
