This can help confirm the possibility of malfunctions or even understand how it was kept off the radar for 24 hours. Reading this gives me a general understanding of the lost plane and may help narrow down the possible theories. Zelikow, Philip. The 9/11 Commission Report. New York: W. W. Norton and Company, 2002. Print. This book provides a good summary of how the planes were hijacked on 9/11. I can use this information in my article as an example of the fate of Malaysian Flight 370. It also helps explain the reason for the hijacking, which could help me narrow down the suspects on my list. This is the most documented account of a hijacking and can help me really go into detail about the fate of the flight 370.
