CNN Aviation Correspondent Richard Quest offers a gripping and definitive account of the disappearance of Malaysian Airline Flight MH370 in March 2014. On March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared with barely a trace, carrying 239 people on board--seemingly vanishing into the dark night. The airplane's whereabouts and fate would quickly become one of the biggest aviation mysteries of our time... Richard Quest, CNN's Aviation Correspondent, was one of the leading journalists covering the story. In a coincidence, Quest had interviewed one of the two pilots a few weeks before the disappearance. It is here that he begins his gripping account of those tense weeks in March, presenting a fascinating chronicle of an international search effort, which despite years of searching and tens of millions of dollars spent has failed to find the plane. Quest dissects what happened in the hours following the plane's disappearance and chronicles the days and weeks of searching, which led to nothing but increasing despair. He takes apart the varying responses from authorities and the discrepancies in reports, the wide range of theories, the startling fact that the plane actually turned around and flew in the opposite direction, and what solutions the aviation industry must now implement to ensure it never happens again. What emerges is a riveting chronicle of a tragedy that continues to baffle everyone from aviation experts to satellite engineers to politicians--and which to this day worries the traveling public that it could happen again.

The disappearance of Flight MH370 on the night of March 8 2014 remains one of the greatest mysteries in aviation, as well as a terrible tragedy with the loss of 239 people. Despite a multi-million-dollar hunt using resources from several countries and state-of-the-art exploration technology, the aircraft has still not been located. The author of this book believes that MH370 is not in the Southern Indian Ocean as most people believe but much nearer to its point of departure, in the South China Sea. This book explains in detail the reasoning behind this theory.

On the 8th of March, at 00:41, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. At 01:19, the pilot bid air traffic control 'good night'. Two minutes later, the plane and its 227 passengers vanished from the skies. To date, no trace of the aircraft has been found. Experienced author and journalist Nigel Cawthorne has researched the case with incredible thoroughness, revealing the most compelling explanations behind the mystery which has gripped the world.

‘People often say that non-fiction books read like fast-moving thrillers, but this one genuinely does... This is a splendid book – and highly recommended.’ Daily Mail A remarkable piece of investigative journalism into one of the most pervasive and troubling mysteries of recent memory.

"A staggering, meticulous and frequently spine-chilling work of longform journalism." Trent Dalton Somewhere deep beneath the wild seas of the southern Indian Ocean, perhaps in the eerie underwater canyons of Broken Ridge along the Seventh Arc satellite band, lies the answer to the world's greatest aviation mystery. Why, on the night of 8 March 2014, did Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 suddenly U-turn, zig-zag up the Straits of Malacca, then vanish with 239 souls on board? Was it an elaborate murder-suicide by a rogue pilot? A terrible accident such as onboard fire, rapid decompression or systems failure? A terrorist hijacking gone wrong? Or something else entirely? Award-winning journalist Ean Higgins has led the world media's coverage of this incredible saga and draws on years of interviews with aviation experts, victims' families, air crash investigators and professional hunters across land, sea and sky to dissect the riddle of MH370's fate. PRAISE FOR THE HUNT FOR MH370 "The Hunt for MH370 is a riveting page-turner written with the drama and intrigue of a thriller. Piece by tantalising piece, Ean Higgins unpuzzles this most baffling of mysteries, asking dangerous questions and revealing shocking truths." Dick Smith "The disappearance of MH370 remains the greatest and most pressing mystery in aviation history that demands answers for both the families of the stricken passengers and the travelling public. No journalist has been more relentless in the pursuit of the truth of MH370 than Ean Higgins. The Hunt for MH370 is an engrossing book in which Higgins has meticulously pieced together the puzzle of the doomed flight from its vanishing to the flawed investigation and the largest maritime search ever that leads the reader to a chilling conclusion that is almost impossible to comprehend."

'Into Oblivion' presents a comprehensive scientific evaluation of each and every theory regarding the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight #MH370. While this book doesn't speculate about how and why the flight was lost, it scientifically interprets whatever little evidence is available at this time. An explanation of the scientific basis of the search techniques and methodology has also been provided in this book. 'Into Oblivion' therefore seeks not to sensationalize or speculate but only to inform and educate by sifting fact from fiction. 'Into Oblivion' is a must-read for all those intrigued by the sudden and as yet unexplained disappearance of #MH370. This book does not tell you what happened to MH370. If you seek a book that explains what happened to the flight, then this is not the book for you. At the time of writing there is insufficient evidence to arrive at any conclusion regarding what actually happened to MH370. This book merely states the facts, without any speculation, and explains how they should be interpreted based on the available scientific and historical data. The reason for writing this book is to state the facts, explain them and differentiate between what the facts represent scientifically and what amounts to conjecture. Then, based on the facts available draw some scientific conclusions on the basis of which the many theories that abound in the media today can be evaluated and either considered plausible, subject to further evidence or rejected altogether. Various technical terms that are being frequently used in relation to this incident, have also been explained. An explanation has also been given of the technology that is being used in the search along with some basic scientific data to help the reader understand the complexities involved in this operation. The reason and focus of this book lies in truth; and where there is no truth known at this time, in scientific and data driven analysis of all possibilities. No speculation, no allegations and certainly, no favorite theory. Every theory out there is just as good as the other in the absence of any proof! Lastly, if you're looking to read an emotional account of this tragedy, then this book is not for you. I have no interviews with any of victims' family members, because I believe that people need to be allowed to grieve in private. This book focuses on pure science and facts and on weighing (not counting) the evidence, exactly the way an Accident Investigator is expected to.
