Netflix’s upcoming MH370: The Plane that Disappeared is some chilling stuff and pairs nicely with Unsolved Mysteries. The all-new documentary follows the truly chilling and baffling tale of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. If you recall, this is the flight that just disappeared a few years back. Perhaps the most chilling thing is that there was never any real resolution for the whole thing.
The whole tragedy was huge on the news cycles and social media for a while but like most things it had a trending lifespan and then people lost interest. Not long after when a mysterious piece of the plane was found the masses thought that it immediately meant that the plane’s wreckage had been found, but that wasn’t the case. The piece that was found never really made any sense. The whole thing felt like some kind of spooky coverup and the world never recieved the answers it deserved. This documentary dives into the creepy details surrounding a plane’s disappearance.
The synopsis for MH370: The Plane that Disappeared goes like this:
Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 was supposed to be a routine trip: A redeye from “Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, with 239 passengers and crew on board. But shortly after takeoff on a calm 2014 night, MH370 vanished from radar screens for good. The shocking disappearance of a commercial airliner made headlines, sparked riots, plunged the passengers’ next of kin into a nightmare, and generated a global search for answers that never came. Set across seven countries, this gripping documentary series from RAW uses powerful archives to reconstruct the night of the disappearance, giving viewers the chance to explore three of the most contentious theories about the plane’s disappearance. It also features interviews with family members, scientists, journalists, and the ordinary people around the world who, after nine years, refuse to give up hope of an explanation. It’s a story full of conspiracies and rabbit holes, shadowy figures and official silence – but most of all, it’s an opportunity to keep alive the memory of those who were lost in one of the great unsolved mysteries of our time and to keep pushing for answers.“
Netflix’s MH370: The Plane that Disappeared arrives beginning March 8.
