The disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, which left Kuala Lumpur to China on March 8 and, so far, has not been found, remains the greatest mystery of 2014.

What happened?

If it did go down somewhere over the Indian Ocean, where is the wreckage? Is the plane still at the bottom of the sea? Aviation experts found that the plane went off course. Why? Was it a pilot error? Was it hijacked by some terrorist jerk? Why did the radio transmitter in the cockpit stop functioning?

Mechanical failure was considered to be another strong possibility but was it really that?

There were no distress signals from the pilot and all communications stopped abruptly...

If rumours which circulated in the international media some time after the incident are true – that the captain wanted to commit suicide – why did he choose to end the lives of so many innocent passengers with him? But, yet again, not a shred of wreckage was found!

Experts were and still are intrigued and baffled. At times, reports from the Malaysian authorities have been confusing and even conflicting. Nine months after this tragic event, so many questions have so far remained unanswered.

Until a solid piece of evidence is found to confirm that the plane really went down, this unfortunate and baffling drama is to remain the greatest mystery of 2014 for years to come.
