"MH370 & QZ8501, Amelia & Amy"--Cover. "Mishaps, missiles, hijacks & terror"--Cover.

From Amelia Earhart's Lockheed Electra to the MH370 Boeing 777, at least 100 planes, and the people in them, have disappeared from the skies since humans first took to the air. Accidents and terrorism are threats. Yet a person has a one in 5,000 chance of perishing in a car crash compared to a one in 11 million chance of being involved in a fatal plane crash. But the mystery and speculation surrounding a vanishing plane generate great drama. Here are some of the most curious - and mostly unresolved - disappearances in 100 years of flight.
