MH370's pilot entombed plane and passengers under the sea, says expert

The 'suicidal' pilot of the MH370 Malaysia Airlines flight perfectly ditched the plane into the sea, entombing it and the 239 passengers aboard at the bottom of the ocean, a flight expert has claimed.

The three things that I gathered from these articles that make me believe that the main pilot committed murder-suicide is that he asked for extra fuel and oxygen only for the cockpit, and said to air traffic control "Goodnight Malaysian 370", and locked the cockpit door. He's also practiced on a flight simulator for months before and was determined to succeed and have no traces be found. It all adds up.

Sadly, I agree. The location where the plane went off course, was right where air traffic control switched from Malaysia to Vietnam. It was deliberately picked to create confusion IMO. It helped him buy a few extra minutes to execute his plan while each side scrambled to figure out what was happening.

I think the pilot wanted to carry out a suicidal fantasy of taking the plane on a "joyride"... and selfishly took all the passengers and crew with him. I think they would have become unconscious quickly into the ordeal. He wouldn't have wanted any distractions. I wonder if this incident will change the way things are done in the industry.

Yes after watching numerous documentaries about MH 370, this theory makes the most sense to me.

I remember the shock and fury that people had when there was a real concern that this had all been deliberate. I recall there were moves to require all commercial airlines to have satellite transponders of some sort that could not be turned off by the flight deck.

I don't think there has been much progress announced on this subject, likely to a lot of controversy about privacy and such.

Still, had there been a satellite transponder on the last 5 or so hours of this flight, there is a much better chance that there could have been recovery of some monitoring equipment. These recent articles note that there have been no personal effects, baggage, seats or such that have appeared on distant beaches, unlike the hard shell items that appear to originate from a Boeing 747, which is consistent with the plane. Many of these items would float easily and would be expected to show up more easily than wing fragments. The steadlth in actually planning the type of water crash/entrance to preserve the fuselage and it's passengers with identifiable personal effects, by dropping the landing gear to take the crash force is very cynical and calculated.

The site of the final crash was also very deliberate, and in an area that is very deep and prone to underwater earthquakes and landslides, so that eventually the plane would be completely covered and undetectable.

I agree with your post, but I think the airplane was the newer Boeing 777.

Yes, of course, my mistake

Thank you Warwick1991

Crazy that this thread popped up at the top, while my niece, as I write this is on a flight from San Francisco to Singapore, and will land in about 45 minutes. She's spending the summer doing a public-health internship in Malang, Indonesia.

Also the fact that the plane bypassed the coastline of Penang which is where the captain is from. IMO, he wanted to take one last look at his homeland before steering the plane into the Indian Ocean.

MOO - in Malaysia, it was likely known from day one about Zaharie Ahmad Shah. He was a relative of Anwar Ibrahim and a friend of Sivarasa Rasiah, then VP of Ibrahim's party. I think that it was the mistake of Malaysian LE or politicians or both - if you see a pilot leaving the court with hopeless face on 3/7 and early in the morning of 3/8 he has to fly out, you want to change shifts for him. That Shah wanted his act to be a political statement was obvious and understandable. That he wanted to do it at the expense of 239 passengers is called brutal terrorism.

On a side note, each time some tabloid posts something about MH 370, it hurts the relatives of the people who died on board. MM should stop sensationalizing this case unless there is really something to say. RIP to all the victims.

Just wanted to say, I watched a YouTube video by Green Dot Aviation - something about what Netflix got wrong. This is the best animation I ever saw.

You know, according to the videos I saw, Shah would not have the time for a goid-bye. It just was the easiest route to stay invisible.

On the other hand, the signal from the first officer's phone might have indicated that the first pilot, probably locked outside, could still be alive, breathing out of a portable oxygen mask on board.
