  • Summary

  • On 8 March 2014, a Boeing 777 travelling from Malaysia to Beijing with 239 people onboard disappeared. Despite the most expensive and expansive search in human history, it has never been found.  

    Was it one of the largest ever acts of mass murder, a hijacking that went wrong, or was it something less sinister like technical failure? Aviation experts have no answers. Politicians have no easy solutions. Families have no bodies to bury. 

    This Audible Original podcast is co-presented by journalist and broadcaster Jana Wendt and Peter Waring a former Australian naval officer who worked on the search. It re-examines the evidence and tells the inside story of those whose lives have been consumed by aviation’s most perplexing mystery. 

    Presented by Peter Waring and Jana Wendt

Heart breaking

Such an incredibly heart breaking story. from what happened to some of the families finding out the worst from random intrusive "reporters" to the confusion and ludicrous journey of searching.
i wish for all the survivors peace and healing. I hope for them that because they can't go to where the loss happened.... perhaps they can visit where their loved ones began their lives 💙 my heart goes to them

Tragic and likely true.

Excellent job discussing views on what happened to MH370. Such a tragedy that will likely never be solved and so will not give closure to the loved ones left behind.

Informative and thought-provoking

I enjoyed how each episode gave you new material to think about, and how the hosts of the series explored the issue from every single angle. This is truly the detail that anybody following up on the situation needs to know about and is covered in an intimate, engaging manner. I really enjoyed listening to this, and I really do hope that they add more episodes to the series or, they could spin it into a new show when you information emerges.

I'm convinced

Episode 8 of this podcast lays out the most realistic scenario of what likely happened to MH370.

Peter Waring says it best - what happened to the plane and its passengers occurred in the cockpit.

Well researched

I always enjoy a good plane crash documentary. This presented facts, regardless whether the presenters agreed with the participants or not. Listeners are free to make up their own minds on the case. We'll never know the truth. But there's evidence to point in a particular direction. My only wish is that the artifacts that were found and identified as potentially belonging to the victims of the flight, be given to the families, or at least shown to the families to see if there can be a positive identification made. Those left behind deserve that much.

Seriously?

There is no chronology, there is no science there is no anything. It's just a podcast salad stitched together from completely unrelated pieces. The only saving grace is listening to the family members whose grief no one can even imagine. The rest? Nothing. Just nothing. CNN on steroids. Why did you even bother? Oh and how in the name of everything that's holy did you manage to tie Trump into all this. That right there discredits you from the jump. You just had to virtue signal. Couldn't resist? Mind you if his alleged involvement was backed with evidence and well reasoned, I'd be all for it. But this is like - oh and then right after I saw the plane go down I saw Hitler walking by and he had this evil grin and that's what happened!!!!!!111 This thing is simply worthless for anyone that has any aviation knowledge and has been following this case. Sorry but you contribute exactly nothing.

Great production by people without a clue

Use the amount of fuel on board, the range of the aircraft flying at standard altitude and standard speed and then draw a line. With the starting point and the line, you can derive the speed... Uh, just a bit circular? Either the producers failed to explain the process or the expert waved his hands and amazed a bunch of morons.

So, the pilot probably suffocated the passengers. Did he put a laxative in the co-pilot's coffee and wait til he ran to the head? No theory of how the pilot might have dealt with the other cockpit crew?

The more I think about this effort, the more I realize it's a whole lot of flash with little information. Great production of a mayonnaise sandwich.

Riveting!

Podcasts are not usually my thing. I could not stop listening!

Very well done. Really glad I listened.

Someone needs to make a miniseries. A movie could not do it justice.

Good information

I'm always curious as to what happened to that plane and those poor souls and crew. This book doesn't disappoint. Narrator is easy listening, too.

Extensive Background, Ultimately Nothing New

This was a different kind of podcast. Normally, I enjoy these, but this was just a never ending series of scenarios, interviews with experts and talks with relatives of the missing. Despite numerous searches, the plane still hasn’t been found. Kind of hard to listen to.

Compelling Listen!

Extremely well done! Deep dive into the missing Malaysian Flight from 2014 with people who participated in the search and news reporters. Respectful interviews with families and portraying their position, while sharing the facts of the mishaps of the search. Absolutely amazing that a plane full of people can disappear, and governments give up searching.
