First reenactment of the moment MH370 crashed into the Indian Ocean
National Geographic's new documentary is the result of the most comprehensive compilation of evidence about flight MH370 to date.
The documentary concludes that the plane continued its journey in the Indian Ocean until it ran out of fuel.
The information includes the fact that MH370 continued to communicate with satellites, even after disappearing from radar screens. Experts use this clue to determine the plane's direction of travel.
MH370 appears to have headed south and continued flying for six hours. Further analysis suggests the plane descended rapidly, possibly due to running out of fuel.
Computer engineers, based on this data, recreated the moment the Boeing 777 ran out of fuel and crashed into the sea.
The moment MH370 crashed into the ocean in new documentary.
The documentary shows the plane's right engine catching fire first, causing the plane to tilt to the left, until the second engine caught fire a few minutes later.
With no working engines, the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean, creating a large amount of debris.
The few pieces of wreckage found so far offer some insight into how the plane crashed into the water. One is a piece of metal that washed up on the shore of Reunion Island.
Boeing then confirmed that the debris was a flaperon from MH370. According to experts, these debris confirmed that the plane had crashed into the water with a very strong impact.
The search, which cost more than $120 million by Australia, China and Malaysia, ended in January 2017.
In their final report in July, Malaysian investigators said the plane had turned towards the Indian Ocean, but admitted they were unsure what happened to the plane.
