The Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing ten days ago with 239 passengers on-board after leaving Kuala Lumpar for Beijing.
The international community has been gripped by the mystery of Flight MH370. It's left airline officials across the world scratching their heads as to how a Boeing 777-200ER carrying over 200 passengers could have disappeared.
On Monday, it was revealed by Malaysia Airline's chief executive that the co-pilot of spoke the last words heard from the cockpit as investigators consider suicide by the captain or first officer as the latest possible explanation for the disappearance.
Suspicions of hijacking or sabotage had taken root good and proper on Sunday when it was revealed that the last radio message from the plane - an informal "all right, good night" - was spoken after the tracking system, known as "ACARS", was shut down.
Among the conspiracy theories floating around, many believe that the plane was diverted - perhaps by thousands of miles off course - by someone with a deep knowledge of the airplane and commercial navigation, according to Arabian Business.
Among those on-board the airplane were two Iranian asylum seekers who were travelling with fake passports.
