Ekaterina Blinova — A year ago Malaysian Flight MH370 suddenly vanished without a trace in the early hours of March 8, 2014, however, despite all the efforts of international rescue teams, the fate of 239 passengers and the crew is still shrouded in mystery.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 departed Kuala Lumpur on March 8 (16:41 GMT, 7 March) heading to Beijing. A few hours later the plane vanished from air traffic and military radars. A thorough search carried out by international rescue teams across tens of thousands of square miles of ocean has brought no results. Since no physical evidence has yet been found a number of conspiracy theories have been circulating the Internet since then ranging from logical arguments to bizarre alien abduction stories.
