Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, 2014:

The sudden disappearance of a Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines Flight MH-370, a Boeing 777-200, that departed from Kuala Lumpur on March 8 with 239 passengers and crew aboard still remains a big mystery. Though multinational search operations for the missing airliner continued in most part of the world, there is no trace of the aircraft in any corner.

The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of this flight are unusual, with no distress signal sent and no sign of the aircraft in an ever-expanding search area. As such, it has still captured the attention of the world, and investigators and aviation experts are yet to provide an explanation.
