MH370: The plane that vanished

BBC World Service - Witness History, MH370: The plane that vanished

Ghyslain Wattrelos' wife and two children were on MH370, the plane that disappeared.

The disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines flight, carrying 239 passengers and crew, is one of the world's biggest aviation mysteries.

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.”
