MH370 Investigation

In March 2014, following the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Florence de Changy was sent to Kuala Lumpur to report on the events. She conducted an independent investigation that led her to challenge the official conclusions. [4]

According to her research, the aircraft was carrying sensitive cargo and may have been deliberately intercepted under unclear circumstances. She puts forward a hypothesis of military intervention involving the United States Air Force. [5]

Her findings were published in two books in 2021: La Disparition (in French) and The Disappearing Act (in English). [6] The English version was published by HarperCollins. [7]
