About Episode 02:
In this gripping and investigative episode of Threat Level RED, host Charles Denyer dives into one of the greatest aviation mysteries of the 21st century: the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Titled “Where’s the Plane? The Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370)
This episode peels back the layers of confusion, conspiracy, and critical unanswered questions surrounding the aircraft that vanished without a trace on March 8, 2014.
Denyer opens the episode with a detailed timeline of the flight—from its routine departure in Kuala Lumpur to the moment it inexplicably dropped off radar screens and deviated from its planned route. Through expert interviews, satellite data analysis, and international reports, he reconstructs what we know—and what we still don’t—about the flight’s final hours.
A major focus of this episode is the global response to MH370’s disappearance. Denyer examines the failures in aviation communication systems, the controversial early handling by Malaysian authorities, and the complex international efforts that ensued in the search across vast and remote stretches of the Indian Ocean.
Listeners are taken behind the scenes of the official investigations, exploring the role of organizations like the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), Inmarsat, and international air traffic control. Denyer highlights how missteps in coordination and a lack of transparency created confusion, fueled public frustration, and left families without closure.
The episode also delves into the many theories—both grounded in evidence and clouded in speculation—that have emerged over the years. Was MH370 the victim of a catastrophic systems failure, a hijacking, or something more sinister? Denyer presents the most compelling theories, separating fact from fiction while acknowledging the deep human need to make sense of the senseless.
Beyond the technical and investigative elements, “Where’s the Plane?” gives voice to the families of the 239 people on board, sharing emotional and heartbreaking stories of loss, perseverance, and the desperate search for truth. Their stories underscore the real human impact of this tragedy, far beyond the headlines.
In classic Threat Level RED fashion, the episode goes a step further by examining how the aviation industry has responded in the aftermath. Denyer outlines the new technologies, protocols, and international agreements put in place to prevent another disappearance of this scale—and whether they’re truly enough.
