Discovery Channel presents a special one-hour documentary – FLIGHT 370: THE MISSING LINKS – which gathers the foremost thinkers in aviation and security to explore key questions surrounding the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. FLIGHT 370: THE MISSING LINKS will air in more than 220 countries and territories worldwide on Discovery Channel. In Southeast Asia, FLIGHT 370: THE MISSING LINKS will air first and exclusive on Discovery Channel on Wednesday, April 16 at 9:00pm (2100hrs) SIN/HK. There will be additional airings on Saturday, April 19 at 2:00pm (1400hrs), 6:00pm (1800hrs) and 10:00pm (2200hrs) and Sunday, April 20 at 3:00pm (1500hrs), 7:00pm (1900hrs) and 11:00pm (2300hrs).

The mystery of flight MH370 has garnered worldwide attention and generated widespread speculation about how the events unfolded. FLIGHT 370: THE MISSING LINKS looks to industry experts to account for just how it is possible to lose track of an airliner – analysing evidence, deliberating the global frailties of aviation and divulging potential solutions to prevent the disappearance of an aircraft from ever happening again.

In an age when we can use apps to locate handheld devices, the special also looks at how a state-of-the-art airliner and its 239 passengers and crew can simply vanish. Since flight MH370 went off the grid on 8 March 2014, questions about flight safety have once again taken centre stage. In an attempt to answer some of these questions, FLIGHT 370: THE MISSING LINKS addresses seven missing links: airport security, air traffic control, on-board communication systems, mechanical failure, tracking – both radar and satellite, international cooperation and the black box.

We are all still saddened by the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 over the weekend, but it is now possible to help since the Colorado-based DigitalGlobe is now crowdsourcing people who have a computer and Internet to join the search for the missing aircraft. Find out how after the break.

Last Saturday, Beijing-bound Malaysia Airlines MH370 lost communications with air traffic control and just seemed to vanish from the face of the earth. Since then, search and rescue teams from different countries (including Philippines) joined forces and have been looking for clues and considering different angles just to come up with a possible explanation — but still to no avail.

It was reported that US firm DigitalGlobe have been taking detailed photos of the Gulf of Thailand, South China Sea, and the Strait of Malacca using its satellites since there are areas in these places that haven’t been searched by other satellites as of yet. The images are being uploaded to Tomnod, a crowdsourcing site that helps identify bits and pieces when natural calamities strike or other incidents happen.

This is where we come in: By signing up on Tomnod, we could help comb through the vast space of water and look for debris that might have come from flight 370.

“This is a real needle-in-the-haystack problem, except the haystack is in the middle of the ocean,” said Luke Barrington of DigitalGlobe to KMGH. “I will ask you to mark anything that looks interesting, any signs of wreckage or life rafts.”

So far hundreds and thousands of visitors have swarmed the website, scouring through the images. It even got to the point that the site crashed, but was soon fixed and is now operational once again. If you have time to spare then head on to Tomnod and be part of the search!
