More than two years ago, an airplane carrying 239 souls simply disappeared one late night never to be seen again. And now, the search for the remains of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 likely will become a thing of memory, too. Australia, China and Malaysia have suspended but not cancelled the search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 as the likelihood of finding wreckage is fading. The decision was expected, given the drawn-out search for the aircraft is down to the last 10 per cent of the designated search area. The $180 million search had been expected to finish by last month.

There were various conspiracy theories doing the rounds like was it blown up? Steered into the sea? Diverted to a remote airstrip somewhere? Abducted by aliens? and to no end to it, but the truth ultimately could not be found. The Boeing 777-200ER vanished on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. Investigators believed it turned back west and then south before dropping into the Indian Ocean west of Australia, where the search has been concentrated. The Malaysian government has concluded that it was deliberately flown away off the designated route.
