In the years since the loss of MH370 and 239 lives, there have remained more questions than answers on the world’s biggest aviation mystery.

Now, a gripping new Sky News documentary — MH370 The Untold Story — lifts the lid on the alleged cover-ups, the investigative failures and the evidence of the sinister plot that doomed the March 8, 2014 flight.

The first episode, which aired on Wednesday night, was the most watched subscription television program around the country – with a total audience of 175,000.

This was a 44 per cent increase on the audience for the first episode of Bad Blood and 70 per cent up on Lawyer X.
