It was a normal day at Kuala Lumpur airport when Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 took off on March 8, 2014.
The plane took to the skies as usual with all 239 passengers and crew on board.
But after MH370 made its final contact with air traffic control 38 minutes later something catastrophic happened in the biggest ever aircraft mystery.
It should have landed in Beijing, China, later that day but instead few traces of the Boeing 777 have ever been found.
Debris began to wash up on beaches across the Indian Ocean more than three years after the plane vanished.
Heartbreakingly, the search for the missing jet was called off in 2018 - but there are still no answers as to what actually happened to Flight MH370.
Almost as soon as the plane went missing, the conspiracy theories started.
Did the pilot deliberately change the course in a gruesome murder suicide or was the plane hijacked?
Were its controls remotely hacked and was it landed safely outside of the radar that should have been tracking it.
The last official contact MH370 had with the crew on the ground was 38 minutes into the flight.
Minutes later it disappeared from radar, but was tracked by military systems for another hour before it seemed to vanish into thin air.
The plane also seemed to have deviated from its planned course to Beijing - with no explanation from the crew in the air.
Three years later the first wreckage believed to belong to MH370 began to wash up on beaches across the Indian Ocean.
And one piece of debris seemed to give a terrifying clue as to what had happened to the 239 people on board the flight.
The wing tip of MH370 washed up off the coast of Tanzania - analysis showed the flap had not been deployed, which meant all 239 people on board were plunged into the ocean in a horrifying ‘death dive’.
Peter Foley, head of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau search, confirmed the flap had not been in the correct position for the aircraft to have had a controlled landing.
He also claimed that satellite data showed the plane had been increasing in speed.
Mr Foley added: “The rate of descent combined with the position of the flap — if it's found that it is not deployed [which since has] — will almost certainly rule out either a controlled ditch or glide.”
MH370 Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah seemed to have been a happily married man but in the years since the plane disappeared doubt has been cast as to his home life.
There had been rumours that even though he was still living with his wife, Faizah Hanun, the couple had separated.
Faizah has been questioned by both the Malaysian Police and the FBI since MH370 vanished.
She told authorities that he had “retreated into his shell” in the weeks before the plane went missing and spent huge amounts of time on his flight simulator.
It has been claimed that he had several affairs and had refused to seek marriage counselling to save his crumbling relationship.
Even his daughter, Aishah Zaharie, said her father was behaving bizarrely during their final chat.
She said: “He wasn’t the father I knew. He seemed disturbed and lost in a world of his own.”
However, Captain Zaharie’s family are adamant that he had nothing to do with the plane’s disappearance.
One of his friends and a fellow airline captain described Captain Zaharie’s marriage as “bad” and claimed he had slept with flight attendants.
The pal insisted his wife knew about her husband’s infidelities.
Other friends described Captain Zaharie as “sad and lonely” in the months before MH370 vanished.
There were also reports that the captain had been messaging a kindergarten teacher just two days before he took to the cockpit of MH370 about a “personal matter”.
The teacher has always insisted they were not having an affair.
