MH370: The plane that vanished

Witness History

Available for over a year

On 8 March 2014, a plane carrying 239 passengers and crew disappeared. What happened to missing flight MH370 remains one of the world's biggest aviation mysteries. Ghyslain Wattrelos’ wife Laurence and teenage children Ambre and Hadrien were on the plane, which was on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. He was on a different flight at the time and only found out the plane was missing when he landed. A decade on, Ghyslain tells Vicky Farncombe how he’s no closer to knowing what happened to his family. “I am exactly at the same point that I was 10 years ago. We don't know anything at all.” (Photo: Ghyslain Wattrelos. Credit: Pacific Press/LightRocket via Getty Images)
