Resumen del Editor
CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest offers a gripping and definitive account of the disappearance of Malaysian Airline Flight MH370 in March 2014.
On March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared with barely a trace, carrying 239 people onboard - seemingly vanishing into the dark night. The airplane's whereabouts and fate would quickly become one of the biggest aviation mysteries of our time....
Richard Quest, CNN's aviation correspondent, was one of the leading journalists covering the story. In a coincidence, Quest had interviewed one of the two pilots a few weeks before the disappearance. It is here that he begins his gripping account of those tense weeks in March, presenting a fascinating chronicle of an international search effort that, despite years of searching and tens of millions of dollars spent, has failed to find the plane.
Quest dissects what happened in the hours following the plane's disappearance and chronicles the days and weeks of searching, which led to nothing but increasing despair. He takes apart the varying responses from authorities and the discrepancies in reports, the wide range of theories, the startling fact that the plane actually turned around and flew in the opposite direction, and what solutions the aviation industry must now implement to ensure it never happens again.
What emerges is a riveting chronicle of a tragedy that continues to baffle everyone from aviation experts to satellite engineers to politicians - and which to this day worries the traveling public that it could happen again.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“From day one, Richard Quest’s reporting on the mysterious disappearance of MH370 gripped our CNN viewers around the world. His new book now tells the story behind the story with clarity and precision. His expertise on aviation comes through on every page. What also comes through is his passion for uncovering the truth. Even if you think you know a lot about the greatest aviation mystery of our time, you must read The Vanishing of Flight MH370.” (Wolf Blitzer, CNN anchor)
“The Vanishing of Flight MH370 is as enthralling as it is accurate. Nobody tells the unfinished story better than CNN Aviation Editor Richard Quest, who was pivotal in getting the Malaysians to make public more details of the disappearance. His book makes compelling reading even though, at the time of publishing, we have yet to find the Boeing 777.” (Geoffrey Thomas, editor in chief of AirlineRatings.com)
“Richard Quest was at the forefront of the MH370 coverage for CNN. His knowledge and experience helped many to understand how industry, governments and individual people responded to a situation for which there was no precedent. His book presents unique insight into the challenges that the media faced in doing their job. It’s great reading.” (Tony Tyler, director general, International Air Transport Association)

Historia
Somewhere deep beneath the wild seas of the southern Indian Ocean, perhaps in the eerie underwater canyons of Broken Ridge along the Seventh Arc satellite band, lies the answer to the world's greatest aviation mystery. Why, on the night of 8 March 2014, did Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 suddenly U-turn, zig-zag up the Straits of Malacca, then vanish with 239 souls on board? Was it an elaborate murder-suicide by a rogue pilot? A terrible accident such as onboard fire, rapid decompression or systems failure? A terrorist hijacking gone wrong? Or something else entirely?

What really happened to TWA 800? On the 20th anniversary of the crash, author Jack Cashill reveals shocking new evidence. TWA Flight 800 crashed into the Atlantic shortly after takeoff from JFK Airport on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 passengers onboard. Although initial reports suggested a terrorist attack, FBI and NTSB investigators blamed a fuel-tank explosion. But skeptics have long questioned the official story, and new evidence has surfaced that suggests a widespread conspiracy.

Historia
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, carrying 239 passengers, disappeared into the night, never to be seen or heard from again. The incident was inexplicable. 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? And if the plane did crash, where was the wreckage? Drawing together countless eyewitness testimonies, press releases, independent investigative reports and expert opinion, de Changy offers an eloquent and deeply unnerving narrative of what happened to the missing aircraft.

On April 4, 1979, a Boeing 727 with 82 passengers and a crew of seven rolled over and plummeted from an altitude of 39,000 feet to within seconds of crashing, were it not for the crew's actions to save the plane. The cause of the unexplained dive was the subject of one of the longest NTSB investigations at that time. While the crew's efforts to save TWA 841 were initially hailed as heroic, that all changed when safety inspectors found 21 minutes of the 30-minute cockpit voice recorder tape blank.

On July 25, 2000, a Concorde, the world's fastest passenger plane, was taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris when it suddenly burst into flames. An airliner capable of flying at more than twice the speed of sound, the Concorde had completed 25 years of successful flights, whisking wealthy passengers - from diplomats to rock stars to corporate titans - between continents on brief and glamorous flights. Yet on this fateful day, the chartered Concorde jet, en route to America, crashed and killed all 109 passengers and crew onboard and four people on the ground.

On June 12, 1972, a powerful explosion rocked American Airlines Flight 96 a mere five minutes after its takeoff from Detroit. The explosion ripped a gaping hole in the bottom of the aircraft and jammed the hydraulic controls. Miraculously, despite the damage and ensuing chaos, the pilots were able to land the plane safely. Less than two years later, on March 3, 1974, a sudden, forceful blowout tore through Turk Hava Yollari (THY) Flight 981 from Paris to London. THY Flight 981 was not as lucky as Flight 96: it crashed in a forest in France.

It is the most famous military installation in the world. And it doesn't exist. Located a mere s75 miles outside of Las Vegas in Nevada's desert, the base has never been acknowledged by the US government - but Area 51 has captivated imaginations for decades. Annie Jacobsen had exclusive access to 19 men who served the base proudly and secretly for decades and are now aged 75-92, and unprecedented access to 55 additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base, 32 of whom lived and worked there for extended periods.

The UFO enigma has been part of our culture since the 1940s and is building to a worldwide explosion of acceptance today. Now, as governments around the world open their files and records on internal UFO investigations, the US remains steadfast in its denial of interest in the UFO issue. As more of the world's population accepts the possibility of an extraterrestrial presence, the demand is building for disclosure from the United States.

In the early hours of February 25, 1968, a Russian submarine armed with three nuclear ballistic missiles set sail from its base in Siberia on a routine combat patrol to Hawaii. Then it vanished. As the Soviet navy searched in vain for the lost vessel, a small, highly classified American operation using sophisticated deep-sea spy equipment found it - wrecked on the sea floor at a depth of 16,800 feet, far beyond the capabilities of any salvage that existed.

Historia
When the Marines decided to buy a helicopter-airplane hybrid "tiltrotor" called the V-22 Osprey, they saw it as their dream machine. The tiltrotor was the aviation equivalent of finding the Northwest Passage: an aircraft able to take off, land, and hover with the agility of a helicopter yet fly as fast and as far as an airplane. Many predicted it would reshape civilian aviation. The Marines saw it as key to their very survival. Opponents called it one of the worst boondoggles in Pentagon history.

Truly Excellent Book
If you could sum up The Vanishing of Flight MH370 in three words, what would they be?
accurate interesting compelling
What does Richard Quest bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Attention to detail and accurate reporting
Any additional comments?
I picked this book based on the recommendation of Patrick Smith of ASK THE PILOT fame.
I chose this book with a bit of trepidation having only a little exposure to Richard Quest, that being a Daily Show segment on a Royal Wedding or some British pageantry.
As it turned out this is one of the best aviation books I've ever read/heard. I was also worried about his exuberant style of speech detracting from the narration, but it was in fact great.
Mr Quest went from being pretty low on my egard scale to near the top.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in quality journalism, told compellingly.

This specific flight tragedy has always troubled me. I have tried several times to get through the details without getting upset. The magnificent Richard Quest has, as always, brought great clarity to the situation. You not only learn about the tragedy (at least what is allowed to be known) you also get a deep dive into aviation history past and present.
A bonus is his very comforting voice and the fact it’s free of a lot of opinion. It’s filled with facts and guidance to help one make sense of the senseless. Very grateful for this book. It has provided a peace of mind vs. leaving one wondering what the heck...
Cheers.

Get To The Point!!!!!
Let me say I have no feelings towards journalists positive or negative. BUT! This guy spends 70% of this book wacking himself off talking about how other journalists make random conjecture in these situations and he is apparently above that, yet always admitting that he fell right into that trap most of the time during this situation. He goes in depth about his somewhat shallow “connection” to this incident, as if that’s what I’m here for. GET OVER YOURSELF AND TALK ABOUT THE FACTS. What did I learn? This guy thinks he’s god, there were various shortcomings in the investigation and no one knows what happened.

Very engaging
It's great to hear Richard Quest narrate the book, as he engages the reader fully and makes details easy to understand. Definitely worth reading.

Just a Painful Listen, Droning On, And On
Richard Quest is generally informative and entertaining on CNN but he clearly needs an editor when writing a book. A few hours into The Vanishing of Flight MH370 this reader vanished from the audio screen. Probably never to resurface because I crashed into the abyss listing to Quest's overly dramatic, horrifyingly repetitive prose. Probably like the passengers of Flight MH370, I felt like 12-year-old girl (Linda Blair) in the 1973 file, The Exorcist, screaming "Mommy, make it stop!"). And it's too bad, I bought the Audible book to find out what happened to that plane but my curiosity was worn-down by the hand-wringing, and generally unimportant and endless details. So, this is a rare an unfinished listen.

No real new information, more about how CNN fills in time than actual information

Don't waste your time
I thought this was going to be a book about MH370, I could not have been more wrong. The main storyline of this book is about the authors life and how brilliant he finds himself. I found his opinions about the media dumbing down its news coverage for us non journalists to be particularly insulting. Worst book, worst author I've encountered in some time.
