Five years after the Boeing disappeared, setting off the longest and costliest search ever undertaken for a commercial airplane, the question of what happened remains unanswered: was it hijacked, brought down by a mechanical problem or crashed by a suicidal pilot? We may never know, but away from the spotlight on the investigation, the aviation industry has been refining the technology to ensure that an airliner never vanishes again.
Information emerged in the early days and months following the loss that some routine automatic communications between an Inmarsat satellite and MH370’s aircraft communications and addressing system, or ACARS, might be able to be used to give searchers some idea of where to begin looking. The UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch presented Inmarsat findings a few weeks after the disappearance indicating the airplane had flown southwesterly toward the Indian Ocean.
