Mystery of the Malaysia Airlines Plane

The geographic area of the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has been recently expanded, and what happened to the plane is still a true mystery. Over 200 individuals from multiple countries on the plane were bound for Beijing, China after departing from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Investigators and officials originally reasoned that the plane disappeared somewhere over the South China Sea, which is east of the Malay Peninsula. However, it is now possible that the plane deviated from its original flight path and ended up over the Straits of Malacca, which are on the peninsula's west side. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families whose loved ones were onboard.
