This will win him a Pulitzer Prize! You have to tell Ashley.

I was having lunch with my father and one of his friends, and as usual, they asked me how my writing was going. My father then casually dropped a remark that surprised me.

Your grandmother had a story for you. She saw the MH370 crash and thought you could report the truth about what happened.

I paused, mouth open, and looked at him.

What the hell? Why had I never heard this before.

The most well-known flight number in the world

MH 370.

Two letters and three digits that most people around the world recognize. It was the flight code for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

On March 8, 2014, the flight disappeared soon after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia, failing to reach its planned destination, Beijing. There were 239 people on board — sadly, they were never seen again.

Despite the most expensive investigation in aviation history, no reason for the disappearance was given, and the plane was never found.
