Publisher's Summary
The definitive investigation into the greatest aviation mystery in history, with a startling hypothesis about who took the plane, where they took it, and how. On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. A year later, still no trace of the plane - or the 239 people onboard - has been found. But why? In The Plane That Wasn't There, science journalist and CNN aviation analyst Jeff Wise sweeps aside the conspiracy theories and misconceptions and lays out, with clear concision, just what we know about the plane's fate - and what we don't. The deeper into the technical details one delves, Wise reports, the stranger the case seems. He proposes that in order to make sense of the data we have, a radical new hypothesis ought to be considered - one that he lays out in gripping detail, complete with modus operandi, flight path, possible perpetrators, and a startling destination. Jeff Wise is a science journalist specializing in aviation and psychology. A licensed pilot of gliders and light airplanes, he has also written for New York, The New York Times, Time, Businessweek, Esquire, Details, and many others. His 2011 Popular Mechanics story on the fate of Air France 447 was named one of the Top 10 Longreads of 2011. His last book was Extreme Fear: The Science of Your Mind in Danger. A native of Massachusetts, he lives in New York City with his wife and two sons.

Very interesting
I’m someone who can’t focus on books so I listen instead. This book contains a LOT of numbers which did occasionally get confusing but I worked it out soon enough. There is also a lot of technical words to do with planes but it wasn’t that bad.
It’s obvious the author did a lot of research into this book and put it in a way where it’s all together and explains where the information came from and how it came to be known. It’s a bit of a nightmare researching this case in 2022 because it’s somewhat assumed that people are aware of the information and articles just gloss over it (showing flight path without explaining how they worked it out. I hope we get a second version of this with more up to date discoveries because it’s clear the author does care about what happened and I would like to hear his perspective on what’s happened since the writing of this book.
It’s hard to believe that this book was written in 2015 and we still have no solid answers in 2022.
I was hesitant about the hijacking theory, and even the theory this book provides is ridiculously far fetched (which the author acknowledges) but somehow to me it’s still more plausible than the plane crashing in the middle of the ocean and it never being found and none of the plane ever washing up.
My heart breaks for the families of the passengers who still don’t have answers 8 years on. I truly hope that whatever happened on that plane, the passengers didn’t suffer and they weren’t scared. I can only hope for their sake they were asleep and the plane depressurised and they all stayed sleeping. I can’t imagine the fear they would have suffered otherwise.
