Families of passengers who were on board the missing MH370 flight are still looking for answers and here is a timeline from the disappearance to the search so far.

It is now 10 years since the Malaysia Airlines plane did the seemingly impossible by vanishing during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It led to major searches and speculation over what may have happened including wild conspiracy theories.

During the first 40 minutes of the fateful journey, all appeared normal. But just seconds after crossing over into Vietnamese airspace, MH370 suddenly disappeared from the radar and it was impossible to make contact.

Searches for the plane - which was being flown by senior pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, and first officer, Fariq Hamid - have spanned from the Indian Ocean, off Australia’s west coast to central Asia. But while there has been some wreckage found of the Boeing 777, there is no trace of the 227 passengers, plus 12 crew members on board.

And as Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says he is willing to reopen an investigation if there is strong new evidence, here is the timeline of the disappearance and search so far.
