📡 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

People in the MH370 file

The Flight 370 crew, Malaysia’s 2014 leadership, the ATSB search chiefs and family advocates — not a gallery of unproved cockpit theories.

The missing were 239 people on a scheduled flight. The living file is ministers, search chiefs and next of kin.

Amateur accusations against named crew are omitted here unless they appear as dated official findings — and the 2018 report has none.

People

Zaharie Ahmad Shah

Captain, Flight 370

The 53-year-old pilot in command. Public debate has treated his home simulator and his last hours as clues. The 2018 safety report did not find a cause and did not charge him.

Fariq Abdul Hamid

First officer, Flight 370

The 27-year-old copilot on the Beijing sector. He is on the crew list and in the last radio minutes as part of a two-person flight deck. He has not been found.

Najib Razak

Prime Minister of Malaysia, 2014

Announced on 24 March 2014 that satellite analysis placed the end of flight in the southern Indian Ocean. That statement moved the world’s search and did not produce a wreck.

Angus Houston

Chief coordinator, JACC

The retired Australian air chief who became the English-language face of the southern search. His briefings are primary sources for how the ATSB box was explained to the public.

Martin Dolan

Chief commissioner, ATSB

Led the Australian safety agency during the main seabed survey. ATSB technical papers on Inmarsat arcs and search planning are the core English engineering file.

Jiang Hui

Family advocate

A Beijing-based next-of-kin voice often quoted in English and Chinese press. Family groups treated the missing wreck as an unfinished official duty, not as a closed story.

Ministers and searchers left paper. The 239 people left a manifest and unlocated recorders.

Public-record encyclopedia. Not legal advice. Not a how-to. Graphic detail is withheld. Wars belong in a separate atlas.
