MH370: The Lost Flight

...but essentially pointless documentary mini series about the Malaysian airlines flight which disappeared between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing a few years back. I was vaguely aware of the story at the time but really didn't pay close attention so much of the story, as told in this documentary was new to me. At three one hour episodes it's a bit long and could've fitted easily into two. We hear a lot from the families of the victims but mostly this is just people saying how sad they were so we could've done without that. One such family member, a French man did have something important to say regarding his clandestine meeting with a French intelligence agent. The rest is a series of conspiracy theories ranging from pilot suicide to hijacking by Russia to the plane being shot down by American jets to prevent sensitive electronic equipment going to China. There's also some beach bum who claims to have found wreckage washed up on a Beach in Africa. Non of it really makes very much sense and what started off as an aviation mystery remains so in the end.

I was really looking forward to this , but as it turns out this has been one of the most factually incomplete, almost wrong, irresponsible and insensitive documentaries I've ever seen.

Instead of just throwing out baseless accusations and pushing completely ridiculous conspiracy theories, I would have really expected more factually correct and actual research.

It is sad to see how many details they just left out, like a recently discovered location, and instead decided to commit journalistic suic*de and release such an incomplete and insensitive documentary. This should be taken down and redone completely.

Like many, I'm so fascinated by the mystery of this story and was really looking forward to where this documentary might go. BUT, this three episode documentary is a flight to nowhere. You might even think it was produced by some of the folks at the History channel in between filming Ancient Aliens episodes. The theorists with their narratives seem really conspiracy oriented, lacking in real substance or evidence and overall just really really subpar for such a compelling and serious tragedy. And oh GAWD, every time they are showing texts on the screen you get to hear a zillion full volume iphone text tones one after the other. That became REALLY annoying.

In a nutshell, three theories with no new or intriguing information. I seem to recall some altitude changes during the investigation? Never mentioned. No mention of a possible fire on board, one of the most credible theories. And lots of weird analysis of data that was all held for too long by shady authorities. Best part is the clown that happened to be responsible for finding most of the recovered debris, which is also suspect. This is a docu-comedy. If you are truly interested in this air travel mystery, you won't get any fresh perspectives in this turd. The interviews with the families tug the heart strings, but it's sad they ended up part of this series. I hope they were paid nicely.
