Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014, headed for Beijing. It never arrived. All 227 passengers and 12 crew are presumed dead after radar data showed the Boeing 777's last recorded position over a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean.
After sixteen months of exhaustive underwater searches, debris thought to be part of a 777 washed up on a remote French island in the western Indian Ocean. As Malaysian and French investigators make sense of the wreckage to possibly help solve the mystery of MH370's disappearance, we look back on the victims on the ill-fated jet.
