On March $8,2018,$ a passenger airline owned and operated by Malaysian Airlines took off from Malaysia heading directly north to Beijing in China. There were $227$ passengers on board. The last communication with the aircraft was at $1$:$19,$ Malaysian time, while they were over the South China Sea. In that communication, the flight crew did not indicate there were any problems. Then at $1$:$22,$ and for unknown reasons, the plane turned east heading out into the Indian Ocean. Attempts were made to contact the aircraft, but the crew could not be reached.

No wreckage of the plane was ever found, but it is presumed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean with all passengers and crew killed.
