On the early hours of 8th March 2014, Malaysian
Airlines flight MH370 to Beijing, carrying 239 souls (of which 153 are Chinese
nationals) took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Not even 2 hours later, the flight turned
missing. Her transponders and
communication systems were all shut off.
Who or why and how it happened, as at writing time are
beyond our comprehension. Theories upon
theories, many of them conspiracy in nature were shared. Many if not all were easily debunked.
But what we know today is that in the effort to search for
the missing plane has certainly resulted in tectonic shift in the regional
geopolitics.
