Below is the article summary. For the full article, see Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappearance.
Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappearance, also called MH370 disappearance, Disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines passenger jet on March 8, 2014, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Flight 370 took off at 12:41 AM local time and reached a cruising altitude of 35,000 ft (10,700 m) at 1:01 AM. [b]The plane’s transponder was switched off just as the plane was about to enter Vietnamese airspace. Malaysian military and civilian radar began tracking the plane as it turned around and then flew southwest over the Malay Peninsula and then northwest over the Strait of Malacca. [/b] (The pilot had the skills and experience to carry this off. He avoided international detection and interception by staying within Malaysian airspace prior to entering Indian Ocean)

At 2:22 AM Malaysian radar lost contact with the plane over the Andaman Sea. An Inmarsat satellite in geostationary orbit over the Indian Ocean received hourly signals from flight 370 and last detected the plane at 8:11 AM. On March 24 Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that, based on analysis of the final signals, Inmarsat and the U.K.’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) had concluded that the flight crashed in a remote part of the Indian Ocean 2,500 km (1,500 mi) southwest of Australia.

[b]The search for wreckage was hampered by the remote location of the crash site.[/b] (Australia spent 90 million on a search effort for two years in the Indian Ocean). Beginning in 2015, pieces of wreckage that suggested the plane had broken up were found washed ashore in Africa and on islands in the Indian Ocean.

[b]In 2018 the Malaysian government concluded that the change in flight path had been done manually from inside the plan[/b]e, but why the plane disappeared remained a mystery.

They admitted this but their 2018 report omitted the fact that the pilot had performed a simulation of this flight the month prior and that his wife and children had left him the day before the incident.
