MH370: How did it fly so far without detection?

More than two weeks after it went missing, Malaysian authorities now believe that flight MH370 crashed in the Indian Ocean off Australia. But it raises a crucial question for this country… how could an unidentified passenger jet, way off course, travel the length of the west coast without being detected?

What further light can they shed on the aviation mystery that’s captured the world’s attention?
