The English Wikipedia article, with its sister pages Timeline of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and Search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, is the widest public index of the case. Infobox facts that match the 2018 report: Boeing 777-2H6ER, MSN 28420, registration 9M-MRO, delivered 31 May 2002, last A-check 23 February 2014, two Rolls-Royce Trent 892 engines, 227 passengers and 12 crew, 239 dead, no survivors. Scheduled 00:35 MYT KUL to 06:30 CST PEK; airborne 00:42 MYT from runway 32R. Last voice 01:19:30 MYT, “Good night Malaysian three seven zero.” Transponder lost ~01:21 MYT. Military primary radar to ~02:22 MYT, 200 nm west-northwest of Penang. SATCOM log-on 02:25 MYT; hourly handshakes; final log-on 08:19:29–08:19:37 MYT; no reply at 09:15. Last ACARS 01:07 MYT with 43,800 kg fuel remaining. Deadliest Boeing 777 accident until MH17. Passengers: 153 Chinese, 38 Malaysian, plus other nationalities; 20 Freescale employees (12 Malaysian, 8 Chinese); two infants; a Chinese calligraphy group; two Iranian travellers on stolen Italian and Austrian passports, later treated as likely asylum seekers. JORN not tasked. April 2014 ULB pings later rejected. Debris: Réunion flaperon confirmed 3 September 2015; Mozambique, Mauritius, Tanzania, Madagascar, South Africa pieces through 2016–18; Wikipedia’s October 2017 tally of about 20 recovered items (most almost-certain or likely). CSIRO drift has been published with a weighted origin near 35°36′S 92°48′E — a model output, not a wreck pin. Search: South China Sea then Andaman; southern Indian Ocean surface March–April 2014; ATSB 120,000 km² underwater October 2014–January 2017, cost figures in the US$155–180 million class; Ocean Infinity 2018 ~112,000 km²; 2025–26 15,000 km² no-find-no-fee (~US$70m if found), Phase 1 25–28 March 2025, Phase 2 31 December 2025–23 January 2026, MOT ~7,571 km², remaining 7,428.54 km² extended to 30 June 2027. GADSS is the regulatory aftershock. Cause: undetermined. Wikipedia is a map of sources. Cite the underlying ATSB, MOT, Inmarsat and debris papers, not the wiki voice.
