Masih misteri. Masuk minggu ke-4 misi mencari pesawat MH370 di Lautan Hindi, namun hingga kini, tiada sebarang clue berkaitan pesawat malang itu bersama 239 penumpangnya termasuk kru.
Bermula semalam, underwater locator mula digunakan. Dua kapal HMS Echo dan Ocean Shield menarik secara perlahan dengan kelajuan 3 batu/jam alat pengesan kotak hitam di suatu lokasi di lautan Hindi yang luas di mana dipercayai, pesawat malang itu memasuki air.
MH370 yang berlepas pada 12.41 pagi Sabtu 8 Mac bersama 239 penumpang, namun kira-kira sejam kemudian hilang daripada radar, dan sehingga kini, tidak dikesan di mana pesawat itu berada. Pesawat malang itu, sepatutnya mendarat di Beijing pada pukul 6.30 pagi hari yang sama.
Semasa kehilanganya, tiada panggilan kecemasan. Sejak itu berbagai negara mencari pesawat itu, namun hingga kini tidak menjumpai sebarang serpihan yang boleh dihubungkan dengan pesawat malang itu.

The United States review of American spy satellite imagery shows no signs of mid-air explosion.
As dozens of ships and aircraft from seven countries scour the seas around Malaysia and south of Vietnam, questions mounted over whether a bomb or hijacking could have brought down the Boeing airliner .
Hijacking could not be ruled out, said the head of Malaysia's Civil Aviation Authority, Azharuddin Abdul Rahmanthe, adding the missing jet was an "unprecedented aviation mystery".
Tuesday, March 11
Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble names the two men who boarded jet with stolen passports as Iranians, aged 18 and 29, who had entered Malaysia using their real passports. "The more information we get, the more we are inclined to conclude it is not a terrorist incident," Noble said.
Malaysian police chief said the younger man appeared to be an illegal immigrant. His mother was waiting for him in Frankfurt and had been in contact with authorities, he said.
Malaysian police say they are investigating whether any passengers or crew on the plane had personal or psychological problems that might shed light on the mystery, along with the possibility of a hijacking, sabotage or mechanical failure .
Malaysia's military believes missing jet turned and flew hundreds of kilometres to the west after it last made contact with civilian air traffic control off the country's east coast, a senior officer told Reuters. The jet made it into the Strait of Malacca, one of the world's busiest shipping channels, along Malaysia's west coast, said the officer.
A Colorado-based company has put "crowdsourcing" to work in search for a missing jet, enlisting Internet users to comb through satellite images of more than 1,200 square miles (3,200 square km) of open seas for any signs of wreckage.

The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet expands to an area stretching from China to India , as authorities struggle to answer what had happened to the aircraft that vanished almost five days ago with 239 people on board.
Its revealed that the finals words spoken by one of the pilots from the cockpit of the plane to ground control were "all right, good night" . The comment came as the plane flew from Malaysian into Vietnamese air space.
Thursday March 13
A Chinese satellite picture appears to show the outline of wreckage floating in the South China Sea, but Vietnamese search teams failed to find any sign of the objects.
Aviation experts say they believe the missing airliner could have flown for an extra four hours, after it lost contact with traffic controllers. The new theory was based on data downloaded automatically from the jet's engines.
It was also revealed that satellites picked up faint electronic pulses from MH370 after it went missing.
China said that they would not stop searching for the missing aircraft so long as there is a "glimmer of hope".
Investigators began looking into suggestions that the plane may have been deliberately flown towards the Andaman Islands
Friday March 14
A satellite company revealed it had received signals for MH370 five hours after it disappeared, suggesting the plane was still flying and had not crashed, and the search was dramatically shifted to large parts of the Indian Ocean.
Saturday March 15
The investigation into the disappearance shifted towards foul play, amid suggestions the plane was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course.
Malaysian authorities then gave a press conference where they confirmed that they believed "deliberate action" had caused the plane to veer off course, and that someone deliberately shut down its communication and tracking systems.
New satellite information suggests the plane was flown west into the Straits of Malacca, but could then have gone down either one of two huge north or south corridors, spanning large tracts of land and deep oceans.
Police searched the homes of pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid.

Investigators revealed a flight simulator had been found at Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah's home, and taken away for further analysis.
At a press conference, it was suggested that Flight MH370 could have been on the ground when it sent its final satellite signal, and that its transmission system was switched off after its final communication with ground control.
Monday March 17
Flight engineer Mohd Kairul Amri Selamat, who was also one of the passengers on board the plane, comes under investigation. Police say they are looking at anyone on the plane who may have had aviation skills and knowledge.
A theory emerges that the missing plane could be in a Taliban controlled base, where it could be being kept ready for use at a later date.
