On March 8, 2014 Malaysia Airlines reported a major ongoing incident with its flight MH370 operated on B777-200.
Since then the fate of MH370 has remained a mystery.
But there is no shortage of theories and bits of information made available.
For example, you can consult this piece of semi-professional analysis by the (self-styled) Aviationist, aka David Cenciotti who makes some sense.
The world's most read (or actually -- viewed) online paper, the Daily Mail, has also contributed a lot to the ongoing confusion.
As of this writing we, the general public, are no nearer to the truth of what really happened to the tragic flight MH370.
It is unprecedented in recent times and maybe even in living memory for an airliner (or for any plane even) to disappear so completely without a trace and for so long.
The Boeing 777 is a safe aircraft, it had a long purple patch where it had no crashes with fatalities from 1995 to the last year when it came to an end -- Asiana's B777 crash landed in America with the loss of three lives (though the loss of life was mainly due to the incompetence and poor training of the ground rescue crews).

Update March 13, 2014
MH370 has still not been found.
The Daily Mail claims the Boeing 777 is prone to a mid-air break-up.
Update March 17, 2014
Still no trace of MH370
New theory gaining currency is the plane was deliberately hijacked by someone on board, communications equipment turned off, plane diverted
