The search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 began on Saturday, 8 March 2014. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was a scheduled international passenger flight that disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport. Analysis of communications between the aircraft and Inmarsat by multiple agencies has concluded that the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean. A multinational search effort became the largest and most expensive in history. An analysis of possible flight paths was conducted, identifying a primary search area, approximately west of Perth, Western Australia, which takes six days for vessels to reach from Fremantle harbour, near Perth. The underwater search of this area began on 5 October 2014 and will last up to 12 months at a cost of A$60 million (approximately US$56 million or €41 million). As of 5 March 2015, over of seafloor has been searched, which is over 40% of the priority search area; with no significant delays, the search of the priority search area will be completed around May 2015. Ships and aircraft from Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States were involved in the search of the southern Indian Ocean. Satellite imagery was also made available by Tomnod to the general public so they could help with the search through crowdsourcing efforts. == Disappearance == (詳細はKuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing, China. It was one of two daily flights operated by Malaysia Airlines from its hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Beijing Capital International Airport—scheduled to depart at 00:35 local time (MYT; UTC+08:00) and arrive at 06:30 local time (CST; UTC+08:00). At 00:41 MYT, Flight 370 took off with 239 persons aboard—two pilots, ten cabin crew, and 227 passengers (152 of whom were Chinese citizens).〔 Flight 370 was cleared by air traffic control to proceed on a direct path to waypoint IGARI (), located between Malaysia and Vietnam over the South China Sea (near the boundary with the Gulf of Thailand). At 01:07 MYT, the aircraft was at flight level 350—approximately above sea level—when the final message using the ACARS protocol was sent from the aircraft.〔 At 1:19 MYT, Lumpur area air traffic control (ATC) initiated a hand-off to Ho Chi Minh area ATC. The Captain〔 responded "Good night Malaysian Three Seven Zero,"〔 after which no further communications were made with the pilots. The crew was expected to contact air traffic control in Ho Chi Minh City as the aircraft passed into Vietnamese airspace just north of the point where the final verbal communication was made.〔 Less than two minutes later, at 01:21, the aircraft disappeared from the radar screens of both Malaysian and Vietnamese ATC, which use secondary radar to track aircraft.〔 No distress call was made.〔 Flight 370 was expected to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 local time (same time zone as Malaysia; 22:30 UTC, 7 March). At 7:24, Malaysia Airlines issued a media statement that Flight 370 was missing after contact was lost with Malaysian ATC at 2:40. The time of the last contact with ATC was later corrected to 1:19; Malaysia Airlines was notified at 2:40. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
