MH370: The Plane That Disappeared (2023)

Watchseries; This documentary is the perfect example of trash that Netflix is now staging to somehow keep afloat. The documentary feels like the work of a teenage amateur QAnon follower! So let's start...it has to be the pilot!...no wait..it's the Americans...no wait...the Russians!!!!!!....noooooo....the Chinese!! Wait...could it be Australia???

Does anyone at Netflix ever actually see the stuff they are putting out?

Does anyone consider what this would do to the families of the crash victims? On moral grounds, tainting the names of so many people who actually tried to help?!

Netflix should be ashamed.

MH370: The Plane That Disappeared watchseries. I was so excited and looking forward to this documentary and Almost 10 years of this mystery and all this documentary could cover were hocus pocus theories from aviation journalists without any factual data that proves anything. It was bizarre they didn't even bother talking about Ocean infinity's search work. They did not even bring any aviation experts on the panel like Jon Cox and more. There is substantial work that Richard Godfrey conducted that studies the small radio wave interruptions which he mapped to exact location of the plane and Ocean infinity is planning to do one last search based on this credible evidence.

Such a disappointed Netflix documentary. There are better credible documentaries on YouTube with real experts based on scientific facts. Prayers goes out to families still suffering. I hope it's found soon as ocean infinity gets to Richard Godfrey's mapped out location.

Wow! The absurdity and just clear lack of sympathy for the families of the victims of this horrible tragedy is just astounding. I found Jeff Wise to be absolutely infuriating. The guy just needs to write murder mystery novels with his crazy thinking and leave actual reality for people with a sense of sanity. How the producers at Netflix found him tolerable, let alone lead pretty much most of the show is the real conspiracy. Russia anyone? Maybe trying to brain-dumb more Americans so they can eventually take over the world. In spite of all that, I really did feel for the victims of the tragedy. What they went through is absolutely horrific. May we all know what happened very soon.

Horrible docuseries. Thank God Mike Exner agreed to participate and save it from devolving into a complete conspiracy theory fest. Mark Dickinson of Inmarsat and Pete Foley also lent sanity to the series, albeit for only the few seconds of interview time Netflix thought it appropriate to include. Even Blaine Gibson (who I admittedly assumed would be one of the nuttier personalities) was one of the few more rational voices.

I feel for these families. Really, I do. But it's clear that some of them are struggling so much with their grief and with not having answers that they're buying into far-fetched theories they would likely never have entertained 15 years ago. I hope they're given closure one day but the idea that this was some global conspiracy involving no less than 3 major countries to take down your average commercial flight is not going to give it to them. And shame on The Intercept's de Changy who's profiting like a MFer off both this tragedy and the heartbreak of the victims' families.

I agree we need answers but none of the ridiculous conspiracies posited in this docuseries is a plausible explanation.

I would have much preferred a FACTUAL docuseries focusing on the accident itself, the investigation that followed, and the 239 souls lost. I mean, you could have just interviewed Mike Exner, Mark Dickinson, and Pete Foley. Hell, you had them right there. I would have loved to hear their theories about what happened.

In its attempt to introduce new angles and material not seen before it has focused far too much on conspiracy (painted as seemingly viable alternatives to the current evidence-based versions available). This mystery-tragedy has left hundreds of people without their loved ones and they deserve more than conspiracy and speculation. This series provided a platform for rabbit holes, and gave far too little airtime to the individuals providing scientific and credible information and insights into this missing aircraft. It's hard to see what the point of this docu-series is, aside from trying to introduce new, fresh narratives at any cost.

The incredible bumbling and arrogance of the Malaysian government and Malaysian Airlines is undeniable.

This aviation writer, Jeff Wise, clearly wanted to break into Hollywood and Netflix gave him his chance. His multiple theories completely ignore most logical facts, like the other passengers on board saying, "hey, a Russian just opened the hatch and went down." This guy is guilty of confirmation bias who rode this crash to fame.

Meanwhile, all Wise can do is dismiss the debris finder, Blaine Gibson, as a part of a vast Russian plot.

Meanwhile, the woman who said, "look here is the plane. I can see the debris field exactly where it would be, in the South China Sea near Vietnam." If the catastrophic event happened when the plane went dark on radar, that's where it would be. Her story, rather than explored on its own, is wrapped into yet another wild conspiracy theory by the wholly unbelievable fantastical French journalist.

Fortunately, there is Mike Exner to bring sanity to all the wild theories.

What surprises me most is no one talks about golfer Paine Stewart's ill-fated flight wherein the planes pressurization failed and all were killed by hypoxia and then the ghost plane ran out of fuel and crashed. The Captain and co-pilot would have had more oxygen and could have tried to turn the plane back towards home.
