With a handful of countries still searching the Indian Ocean for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, there is bound to be at least some element of, well, too many boats in the ocean. According to a New York Times report, the one country annoying the others is China.

After four strong signals were heard last week, no new electronic pings have been detected since Tuesday, April 8th, in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet. This means (or, keeping in line with nearly every new piece of information about the missing flight: could mean) that the black box's batteries have finally died.

Last month, the pilot of missing Flight 370 reportedly deleted information from his custom-built flight simulator. At a press conference on Wednesday, Malaysian officials said investigators are trying to recover the data to see if it offers any potential clues about the plane's mysterious disappearance twelve days ago.

Authorities still have no idea where the missing Malaysia Airlines plane is, but they've found a new place to refocus their efforts—the pilot who said, "All right, good night," a few minutes after the plane was diverted.

In the face of emerging radar data and a week of fruitless searching, Malaysia Prime Minister Najib Razak announced on Saturday that his country believes missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was deliberately taken off course.

Source told Reuters on Friday that the Malaysian military has radar data indicating that Flight 370 may have deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course, raising the possibility of sabotage or hijacking.

U.S. investigators believe missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 may have flown for an additional four hours after it reached final known location, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. If the reports are true, the plane could have traveled another 2,200 nautical miles, giving it time to reach Pakistan, the Indian Ocean, or the Arabian Sea.

Early Saturday morning, Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 vanished from radar screens and lost contact with air traffic control. Five days later, the plane is still missing. Here's what we (don't) know:

A New Zealand man working on an oil rig in the South China Sea claims he witnessed missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 burst into flames before disappearing.

Flight MH370's final radio message signaled that everything on board was normal. "All right, roger that," the flight's pilot replied to Malaysian air control, just minutes before the plane vanished over the the South China Sea.

The Malaysian military reportedly has radar data showing that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 changed course and made it to the Malacca Strait, hundreds of miles from its last reported location, before vanishing early Saturday morning. UPDATE 10:05 PM: Malaysia's air force chief has denied the report.

Malaysian police announced on Tuesday that one of the two men traveling on missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 with a stolen passport was a 19-year-old Iranian trying to migrate to Germany, where his mother lives.

A Malaysian official announced on Monday that the miles-long oil slick spotted on Saturday did not come from missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, which vanished off the coast of Vietnam early Saturday morning with 239 people on board.

With nearly 48 hours passed since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared en route to Beijing, the Boeing 777 has yet to be discovered. As investigators from numerous countries work to piece together what happened, here is everything we still do not know.

Friday afternoon, at about 1:40 pm EST, a passenger jet flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared from radar screens and lost radio contact with air traffic control.
