On 8 March 2014, 239 passengers boarded the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 only to vanish into thin air. The disappearance of the plane has dominated news cycles and media discussion ever since, and rightly so. In a world defined by advanced technology and interconnectedness, how could an entire aircraft become untraceable? Had the flight been subject to a perfect hijack? Perhaps the pilots lost control? And if the plane did crash, where was the wreckage?

Writing for Le Monde in the days and months after the aircraft’s disappearance, journalist Florence de Changy closely documented the chaotic international investigation that followed, uncovering more questions than answers. Riddled with inconsistencies, contradictions and a lack of basic communication between authorities, the mystery surrounding flight MH370 only deepened.

Now, de Changy offers her own explanation. Drawing together countless eyewitness testimonies, press releases, independent investigative reports and expert opinion, The Disappearing Act offers an eloquent and deeply unnerving narrative of what happened to the missing plane.

An incredible feat of investigative journalism and a testament to de Changy’s tenaciousness and clear-mindedness, this book is an exhaustive, gripping account into one of the most profound mysteries of the 21st century.

A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

This well-researched book veers away from the official narration of the cause of MH370 disappearance, giving a less puzzling explanation of the case. In a nicely crafted writing, she described in detail the stages that took place and some conversations and information that help unravel the mystery. Most importantly, her book help to set things straight by correcting the misperceptions that have been going on for many years. This book is highly recommended.

MH370 mysteries

This book explores and dig a lot of mysteries surrounding the dissapearance of flight MH370. Florence de Changy does an excellent job of compiling all of the public information together, combined with insider knowledge and private interviews. She calls out all of the many inconsistencies and includes many voices that have previously been ignored or disparaged by the media. If the MH370 fascinated you like it did me, then I highly recommend this book.
