Yup. . .and about three 777 jets went down in that area over the years.

Actually, MH370 is the only 777 to go down in that area of the world.

South African Airways 295 was a 747-200 that went down in 1987 near Mauritius due to an onboard fire. 195 killed.

Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 was a Boeing 767-200ER, that was hijacked on 23 November 1996 and crashed near the Comoros Islands.

Yemenia 626 was an Airbus A310 that crashed in 2009, on landing into the Comoros after the crew stalled the aircraft.

Three 777s? Considered to be one of the safest airplanes in the world? In that area?

I sure missed those stories! </sarc>

No 777s went down in that area other than MH370. Can you please cite the source for your information?
