'It was his last joyride': MH370 pilot was upset over wife moving

'It was his last joyride': MH370 pilot was upset over wife moving out and in 'no state of mind to be flying', reveals his long-time friend

MH370 pilot devastated by his marriage breakdown

He warns Zaharie could have taken MH370 on a 'last joyride' and that the crew wouldn't have known something was wrong 'until it was too late’

It follows reports the doomed flight climbed to 43,000ft moments before disappearing from radar

It stayed at that altitude for 23 minutes, but oxygen would have run out after just 12 minutes, rendering passengers and crew unconscious

Expert says plane would have flown on until it ran out of fuel

While families of victims of MH370 are expected to start arriving in Perth as soon as the debris is confirmed as belonging to the plane

The Australian Prime Minister warned the search can't go on indefinitely

The pilot of doomed flight MH370 was distraught over his wife’s decision to move out of their family home and could have taken the plane for a ‘last joyride’ before it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean killing all 239 people on board, says a long-time friend of the pilot.

The friend, also a pilot, said Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah had been left rattled by his family problems, and didn’t appear to be in the right state of mind to be flying. He warned that it was ‘very possible that neither the passengers nor the other crew on-board knew what was happening until it was too late’.

‘He's one of the finest pilots around and I'm no medical expert, but with all that was happening in his life Zaharie was probably in no state of mind to be flying,’ he told the NZ Herald on the condition of anonymity.

But no one has made a creditable sighting of the plane heading in that direction and no one has reported seeing the plane begin to make a descent to land, and no one has reported the plane actually landing. Not one eye witness to any of these events and in a world with cell phones certainly someone would have called it it.

More in the ongoing parade of spin:
...the doomed flight climbed to 43,000ft moments before disappearing from radar. It stayed at that altitude for 23 minutes, but oxygen would have run out after just 12 minutes, rendering passengers and crew unconscious...
That's some BS, right there. Even not taking into account the fact that the crew always has oxygen masks (and more than two were in the cockpit), this "low oxygen" crap has been debunked around here already. If there were two deliberate acts 45 minutes apart to disable a couple of beacon systems, then the crew wasn't out of oxygen. And to the first point, if it vanished from radar after than climb, then it didn't fly on for hours until it ran out of fuel, it crashed straight down into the South China Sea.

That figure was for the oxygen running out, and one of the other 200 or so threads about this, that was debunked — when the oxygen level drops, the masks drop. Also the oxygen in the plane would support life (but not consciousness) much longer than 12 minutes.

There was an article yesterday that totally debunked the 43k theory. It was never at that height.

There has also been no debris found either.

239 bodies.. a HUGE 777, seats, suitcases, flotation devices.. I will remain skeptical until something is found.

What did the 9-11 hijackers do before 9-11?

They went out (to a strip club?) and drank alcohol.

They had a final fling before fulfilling the moslem duty of mass-murder.

Perhaps this mozzie pilot bopped a stray female as his final magic carpet ride.

The Chinese government will merely appear to be doing a lot to get to the bottom of it, and leave Malaysia alone for the most part.

IMO some overzealous Chinese air force pilot shot it down because it was not following China’s new illegal “rules” in its illegal interdiction zone; when he got back to base the missing missile or missiles would have been noticed, even if he hadn’t at first reported, two and two put together, he was then executed, and his family was told that he was lost and presumed dead on a routine mission.

The two systems that went offline? One went off when the plane was destroyed, the other one went off when it finally sank in the ocean.

Could you post that article because I don’t remember it???

It’s the Malaysian military who say they tracked the plane from 1:19 until 2:40 that make that claim that it went up to 43,000 for 23 minutes after diversion and then dropped down to 12,000.

No one else would know.

Far better than admitting that the Malaysian Air Force shot it down because it had no transponder.

I am still going with a US space based laser assault, meant to send the Chinese and Russians a message. It was the perfect storm. Stolen passports by Iranians, deep water where no one outside the US could get to the plane, deadly cargo on board, pilot with potential emotional issues.

The phone call that came in before the plane took off could have been the signal to the pilot to make that course change. Like a hypnotic suggestion. Pilot makes the change, plane changes course, and zap! Laser takes out communications and cockpit. Pilots try to correct problem, are overcome by the smoke and plane just flys until it runs out of gas.

Would be a great novel.

The media dropped the story. We will hear nothing more about it. They declared it couldn’t be explained, and that was the end of it.

The truth is that two members of the ROP were in charge. They deliberately broke off communications and flew the plane in its final moments. Truth means nothing to the media, as long as they feel they must protect a band of screaming bearded savages.

Since the service ceiling of the 777 is ~42,000ft I would assume they intended the shell to be able to handle a normal cabin pressure at that altitude.


Because the pressure at 42k is about 15% that at sea level, it’s only about 15% more stress on the plane to remain pressurized in a vacuum. Which is nothing compared to safety margins. (Yes, I know that it’s not 1 ATM inside at 24k feet, but the principle still applies).

Not fantasy. Reality.

If not in Pakistan then you tell me where it’s at?

I believe that there IS a way in if that happens, certainly

not generally known, as said by an expert last week.

Correct, her theory?

The plane is safely landed on Mars,and has been for the 400

years that our Constitution has been written.
