Known Flight Path
This map depicts the bizarre flight path the plane was recorded making. The flight itself could still be detected but could not be communicated with. It ended up taking a right turn before reaching Vietnam, which was off the path. At 2:22 a.m., the flight completely vanished from all radar technologies. They were 280 miles northwest of Penang Airport in Malaysia and were flying at 29,500 feet. The auto satellite system operated for some time after but also stopped at 8:19 a.m.
