I — like many of my B777 and A380 colleagues in British Airways, Qantas, and Emirates — believe that Captain Shah carefully pre-planned and brilliantly executed this hijacking which resulted in his death and the murder of 238 souls.
Even a Malaysia Airlines captain, a colleague of Captain Shah’s for 30 years, is on record for saying he believed Captain Shah is responsible.
The evidence is circumstantial but overwhelming as only a qualified and capable B777 pilot could have done this.
In recent weeks, Roberts gave media interviews in which he discussed airline system vulnerabilities. "Quite simply put, we can theorize on how to turn the engines off at 35,000 feet and not have any of those damn flashing lights go off in the cockpit," he told Fox News.
Roberts also told CNN he was able to connect to a box under his seat at least a dozen times to view data from the aircraft's engines, fuel and flight-management systems.
It does seem like the research on the flight of this plane needs to be looked at again from the beginning. A lot of early reports claimed the plane was flying at an extremely low altitude where it would burn up the fuel quicker and thereby make the flight much shorter. It was only after the pings were discovered that the search area was moved further south.
What also stands out to me is the total lack of debris anywhere. Back near the beginning of this tragedy, a piece of aircraft was found near an island. What about the wipe packet found last summer on the Australian shore? Did they ever make a final determination as to whatever either of these came from?
ATSB announced in April that that search area had been doubled in size, even though the first priority area has still not been completely searched.
If Fugro ends up empty-handed, it will most likely be because the plane didn't crash where officials thought, said Geoff Dell, a former Australian Airlines air safety investigator and current head of accident investigation at Central Queensland University.
But it's still possible, he said, that searchers "may have driven over the top of it and didn't see it."
Danica Weeks, a New Zealander whose husband Paul was aboard Flight 370, has been aboard a Fugro search ship and trusts that the company knows what it is doing. But she also wants the data reviewed in case a crucial clue was missed.
She added: "I'm losing faith. I think any human being in this situation would."
The search area has been expanded and modified as shown in this article, but this new zone could be complicated by winter weather setting in.
