  • Summary

  • On 8 March 2014, a Boeing 777 travelling from Malaysia to Beijing with 239 people onboard disappeared. Despite the most expensive and expansive search in human history, it has never been found.

    Was it one of the largest ever acts of mass murder, a hijacking that went wrong, or was it something less sinister like technical failure? Aviation experts have no answers. Politicians have no easy solutions. Families have no bodies to bury.

    This Audible Original podcast is co-presented by journalist and broadcaster Jana Wendt and Peter Waring a former Australian naval officer who worked on the search. It re-examines the evidence and tells the inside story of those whose lives have been consumed by aviation’s most perplexing mystery.

    Presented by Peter Waring and Jana Wendt

The best look at what happened to MH370

A brilliant and compassionate look at the disappearance of MH370 and the subsequent search.

The hosts explore all the events surrounding the disappearance and the search but never lose sight of the victims and their families, putting their stories at the forefront of their investigation into what happened to MH370.

Highly recommended!

Compelling, emotive and eye opening

Peter Waring and contributors manage to navigate (I know, I know) this historic event with the appropriate balance of technical material and personal story telling. Multiple and opposing theories are palatability presented by leading experts whose ongoing passion and genuine concern rub off on you during the listen and so far for days after.
One of the few podcasts I had to listen on 1x speed.

Utterly captivating story, brilliantly told

While this is a a comprehensive overview of the mystery surrounding MH370, it also never forgets the human element and the ongoing suffering of bereaved families. It's also a fascinating insight into the processes and politics behind the international search effort for the plane. Would absolutely recommend!

Gripping, intense.

Very well constructed, informative and not in the slightest sensationalised. Facts, documents, personal accounts. Definitely worth a listen.

Fascinating listen.

I don’t think you even need to be interested in aviation to appreciate this pod cast, it’s on a human level too. Well researched and produced and absolutely fascinating. Very easy to listen to and understand. Very poignant.

Very good, but not great

There's a lot of good information, technical expertise, and a wide range of views considered from aviation experts to the more conspiracy minded. The sound quality and production is excellent. If I had constructive criticism, it's that the editing could have been tighter. There is some stuff that's repeated, it doesn't need the foreshadowing section at the start of each episode, and quite frankly the whole first episode is superfluous - it's about the presenters, not the crash. You can skip it and not miss anything. It could have been a tight 6-part podcast, but it's a slightly flabby, well researched and informative 8-parter instead.
