"Good Night. Malaysian 370". This was the last radio message from the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on March 8, 2014.

The flight, from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, vanished without a trace. There was no mayday call, no wreckage, no ostensible reason.

With 239 people on board, the Boeing 777 jet, "almost as long as a Manhattan city block and taller than a 5-storey building", somehow made itself invisible in the sky.

The economy section was almost full. There were 5 children on board. The business class was barely one-third occupied.

No trace of the aircraft, or any passenger or crew was ever found in multiple searches in the Indian Ocean.

Marine exploration company Ocean Infinity's efforts in 2018 also failed to resolve the mystery.

An international investigation team failed to determine why MH370 disappeared, though multiple theories abound.

According to a report, the plane deliberately left its planned route north to China and looped back over Malaysia before headed out to sea.

The plane is believed to have cruised south for about 6 hours. It may have crashed into the southern Indian Ocean when it ran out of fuel.

Scientists mapped the plane's route by studying its hourly connections with a satellite 36,000 km above Earth.
