MH370: The Plane That Disappeared

Netflix · three episodes · March 2023

Louise Malkinson’s three-part series gives one episode to each of three tellings: the pilot, a Russian hijack (Jeff Wise), and a US intercept (Florence de Changy). Families and Malaysia Airlines crisis staff are interviewed. It is a survey of hypotheses, not a finding.

Florence de Changy

Journalist · The Disappearing Act

French correspondent. Netflix episode 3: US/AWACS intercept in the South China Sea over cargo. Location conflicts with African debris if those identifications stand.

Florence de Changy: US / AWACS intercept over the South China Sea

Netflix episode 3. Sensitive cargo, jamming in the FIR gap, an ignored land-now order, a shoot-down before Chinese airspace. Location is inconsistent with western-Indian-Ocean debris.

Jeff Wise: northern hijack to Kazakhstan, BFO spoofed

2015 New York Magazine thesis, restated in Netflix episode 2 and in Finding MH370 “Landing MH370.” Keep BTO, discard or spoof BFO, fly borders, land on a long Central Asian runway. Requires the African debris field to be explained away.

CNN-era MH370 analyst. Author of the 2015 northern-hijack / spoofed-BFO thesis. Host of Finding MH370. Treats the default pilot-suicide search as a failed prediction because the wreck is still unfound.
