About this listen
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.

Just because …
Just because something might have happened doesn’t mean it did. There are some serious logic holes in this account.

thought provoking
thought provoking particularly in light of the escalation of hostilities in the Ukraine, perhaps in time this account will be validated and become recognised history.

Very interesting theories
Really interesting theories in terms of what happened to this plane. It’s very clear that there was some outside interference given the lack of debris and lack of bodies. This book theorises this well.
Well written and very knowledgeable.

Draws attention to the incompetence of humanity
First of all, I’d like to say that the narrator/writer did an excellent job both with the information, and the wealth of knowledge of planes, satellites and technology involved in commercial flight.
However,
They don’t know. I think the main thing I took away from the book is just how useless the authorities and technology is. ‘The plane could have gone north, toward India, or south into the Indian Ocean’. No wonder they never found a wreckage. The book talks about all the things that were wrong with the flight, such as satellites being out of fuel and not creating a completely accurate reading. It also gives you an insight into just how unlikely it is for plane wreckage to completely disappear, suggesting that a hijack was far more likely.
I don’t want to go into too much detail, and spoil it for readers but I came away from this quite angry. Hands down the best, unbiased account of what happened with the flight, but also an infuriating insight into just how much the souls on board that plane were failed by those that are meant to keep them safe
Credit to Jeff Wise for an excellent investigation. I would 100% recommend, however prepare to be frustrated!

Interesting and thought provoking!
Although this podcast is quite old, it was definitely still worth a listen given that MH370 still hasn't been found. A lot of the data still stacks up and if anything, rings more true based on the current geopolitical situation and the way Russia has acted over the past few years!
I'd love to listen to a follow up podcast done now to hear updated theories and conclusions.

An interesting factual account and potential theory
An interesting and enjoyable canter through they key information on MH370 and a fascinating potential theory on what could have happened to it.
Well read by the author.

OK but but felt like it need more time!
This book is only OK as it doesn't go into much detail! Felt like he needed to expand the research and go into a lot more detail!
The possible scenario at the end was a nice idea, but again he could of cover a few of the possibilities not just one!
Still it killed two hours!
