On March 8 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 lost contact with ground control just 39 minutes into its journey.
This is the unsettling story that Holes will loan his expertise to on CNN’s Real Life Nightmare.
The plane had taken off from Kuala Lumpur and was set to land in Beijing, China.
Flight MH370 had a diverse array of passengers: Chinese calligraphers, a couple on a delayed honeymoon making their way back to their young children, a construction worker who had not visited home in a year’s time.
It was about 1.21am when MH370 disappeared from the radar, and at 7.24am, Malaysia Airlines announced the flight was missing.
According to Malaysian authorities, the last words heard from the pilot, or possibly the co-pilot were “Good night Malaysian three seven zero.”
Satellite tracking and expert calculation have led many to speculate that the plane continued flying for approximately seven hours until it would have run out of fuel, and the most likely crash site would be Perth, Australia.
However, an extensive search of the possible crash site brought up no evidence whatsoever.
Several conspiracy theories have shrouded the tragic mystery of the flight that led to the disappearance of 239 passengers and crew members.
Fear led many to believe Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, was responsible for the hijacking.
Jeff Wise, a writer for US Science believed that Putin “spoofed” the navigation data on the plane, allowing it to fly stealthily into Baikonur Cosmodrome in an attempt to “hurt the West.”
Others suspected suicide.
Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar alleged that the disappearance could have been the result of a crew or passenger suicide.
Supposing a person on board had taken out a large life insurance policy, their death would gift their family wealth, or pay off the debt they owed, according to Bakar.
In the event that sensitive material was aboard the plane, Norman Davies, a historian, and writer said MH370 could have been hacked remotely and flown against the will of those on board to a secret location.
Despite where such a tragic mystery causes the mind to wander, it is still horrific and confusing for the loved ones of those involved.
