The data behind the search for MH370

I'm of two minds on the use of scrolling as a method of interaction with the page. The term "scrolljacking" has been coined as the negative way to describe this particular style where the page itself is designed to render based on the scroll position. At the same time, I'm completely behind trying to find new and more effective ways of interacting with content.

To me, this page is mostly effective, but I'm on a Macbook Pro, which is probably the best-case viewing experience, but I can't imagine this working well on older mobile devices.

There's a lot of comments claiming the site is "un-navigable" which I find to be curious given that the only thing one has to do is scroll down

And this is coming from a person who is not into the whole "scrolljack" thing to bring things into and out of view. Its implementation here is a bit hokey, but that's the state of web UI these days. I was able to see all the information, I can say that at least.

Doesn't work for me on mobile - content is clipped on the screen edge

That is a valid criticism, then.
