The programme, narrated by [[Amanda Drew]], documents how the aircraft disappeared, what experts believe to have happened to it, and how the search has unfolded. It also examines new technologies, such as flight recorder streaming and [[automatic dependent surveillance β broadcast]] (ADS-B), which may help prevent similar disappearances in the future. The programme concludes by noting that ''Ocean Shield'' had spent two months searching {{convert|850|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} of ocean, but that it had searched far to the north of the Inmarsat "hotspot" on the final arc, at approximately 28 degrees south, where the aircraft was most likely to have crashed.<ref>{{cite web|title=Where is Flight MH370?|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b047czkj|website=BBC Two|publisher=BBC|access-date=12 June 2014|archive-date=9 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209210654/https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b047czkj|url-status=live}}</ref> On 8 October 2014, a modified version of the ''Horizon'' programme was broadcast in the U.S. by [[PBS]] as an episode of ''[[Nova (American TV series)|NOVA]]'', titled "Why Planes Vanish", with a different narrator.<!-- NOTE: While no source could be found explicitly stating it was a modified version of the Horizon program, the credits of NOVA episode (ref) include "For BBC Where is Flight MH370?" after which point the credits are almost identical to the ''Horizon episode (not available online except uploaded in violation of copyright, which cannot be a reference per WP's MOS).

[[Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani]], chief of the Malaysian police, said an application would be filed to [[Interpol]] to find Chia's "full identity" and "latest location". A video of her stand-up performance was removed from [[TikTok]] for violating the platform's hate speech guidelines. The Singaporean ambassador to Malaysia stated that Chia (who grew up in Singapore) did not speak for Singaporeans. [[Vivian Balakrishnan]], Singaporean Foreign Minister, called Chia's joke "horrendous statements". Chia stood by the joke, stating that it was being "taken out of context" and had been performed over 100 times without complaints before.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-06-13 |title=MH370 joke: Malaysia asks Interpol to track down comedian |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-65894721 |access-date=2024-02-29 |language=en-GB |archive-date=23 August 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230823082910/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-65894721 |url-status=live }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
