• Report: Locator Battery on Flight MH370 Expired a Year Before Flight Was Lost

    Planes vanishing in midair, never to be found, seemed like the kind of thing that only happened in movies until last year. When Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur, everything looked like business as usual until it disappeared from radar less than an hour into its flight to Beijing. The 239 people who were on board are now all presumed dead, although not a shred of debris has ever been recovered. In the early days the media made such a big deal out of it being a race to find the wreckage before the battery on the locator pings wore out. An explosive new report claims that, in fact, the battery on the locator for MH370 had expired a year before the flight was lost.
