01:20am, 8 March 2014 - Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, carrying 239 passengers, disappeared into the night, never to be seen or heard from again.
Writing for Le Monde in the days and months after the plane’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 aircraft. An incredible feat of investigative journalism and a testament to de Changy’s tenacity and resolve, this book is an exhaustive, gripping account into one of the most profound mysteries of the 21st century. “This is fascinating stuff. With ruthless forensic skill, Florence de Changy has dismantled and discredited the official versions of what happened to the ill-fated flight MH370, including the notion that the pilot was deranged and deliberately turned the plane around and flew into the southern reaches of the Indian Ocean. After years of investigation and interviews with eyewitnesses and those involved, she makes a convincing case that the aircraft was in fact lost in the South China Sea close to where it disappeared off the radar - either because of a catastrophic accident, or because it was brought down by military action. It would not be the first time that such an incident has occurred. Instead, what is unique about the MH370 saga is the effort that western and Asian governments seem to have made to hide the truth about the tragedy.”
