MH370 plane route similar to simulator record
Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 vanished over the Indian Ocean in March 2014, along with all 238 people on board.
Now, 5 years later, the mystery may finally be explained after The Atlantic published an extensive report detailing the probable turn of events that fateful night.

France begins hunt for more MH370 debris
France launched a hunt for more wreckage from Malaysian Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 off Reunion island on Friday in a fresh effort to shed light on one of aviation’s biggest mysteries.
The tiny French Indian Ocean territory has been under intense scrutiny since a beach cleaner found a washed-up wing part last week, which Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak later declared was part of the Boeing 777 that mysteriously vanished 17 months ago.
The flaperon is currently being examined by experts in southern France for possible clues as to why the Malaysia Airlines aircraft inexplicably veered off course en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, and there are hopes that Reunion may yield more washed-up debris.
