MH370 news: Malaysia Airlines flight is in Indian Ocean says National Geographic - Daily Star

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, carrying 227
passengers and 12 crew members, lost contact with air traffic
control less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur,
then veers off course and disappears. Most of the plane, and
everyone on board, were never seen again.

Authorities definitively linked three pieces of debris to the
plane. A flaperon, a
trailing edge control surface, from a
Boeing 777 (below) was found on Reunion Island in the
Indian Ocean in July 2015 and later confirmed the debris
came from MH370. 

Throughout 2015 and 2016, debris from the aircraft washed
ashore on the western Indian Ocean, but the fate of Flight
370 remains a mystery.

Massachusetts police K9 on unsuccessful chase for more than 2 miles to find lost 12-year-old in ...

The Auburn Police Department said a Massachusetts police K9
followed her nose to help find a 12-year-old who went missing
in
frigid temperatures last week, tracking the child’s scent for
over two miles.


K9 Biza, a female German shepherd (above) was called on to
help after officers learned the child left their home at around
10:30 p.m. Wednesday and was last seen in the Pakachoag
Hill area of Auburn.

The child had left the home without a cellphone or their mother’s permission, the Worcester Telegram and Gazette reported.

Due to the freezing temperatures, police said that officers,
detectives and Massachusetts State Police troopers
converged on the area to locate the wandering child.

K9 Biza and her handler, Auburn Police Officer David Ljunggren,
(above)were deployed, and the dog eventually picked up a scent.

Biza tracked the scent for over two miles and led officers to an
area where they found evidence that the
missing youth had
passed by a short time earlier. Additional officers converged
on the area and found the child a short time later.
The child
was safe and reunited with family.

Biza joined the police department in 2022. She has her own 
Instagram account and was selected as "Miss December”
in the Massachusetts Vest-A-Dog 2024 calendar.
