MH370: Channel 5 documentary explores mystery of missing Malaysia Airlines plane

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 remains as shocking and unnerving today as it did when the plane vanished from radar screens more than eight years ago.

The fate of the Boeing 777 and all 239 souls on board continues to baffle air crash investigators. Channel 5 is showing a new two-part documentary revisiting the suspected disaster and updating viewers on the latest developments in the case.

The first hour-long episode - Flight MH370: The Vanishing - aired last night at 9pm (Monday, May 30). The fascinating programme focussed on events on the night of the plane's disappearance on March 8, 2014 - and the immediate aftermath and search.

Tonight's finale - Flight MH370: The Silence - picks things up four months later, with relatives of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members no closer to finding out what happened to their loved ones.
