That is what I dont understand and no one has been able to explain. This was obviously done on purpose, the plane skirted Indonesian airspace(and radar) just to end up in the Southern Indian Ocean..why? If a pilot or co-pilot wanted to commit suicide why not just crash the plane in the China Sea, or even if they wanted to crash the plane in the Indian Ocean, why try to cover it up, all the secrecy for what purpose, to off yourself anyway? Here is my theory(Unless they find actual wreckage then my theory goes out the window) is it possible that this plane landed in Diego Garcia for instance, then someone took the black boxes from the plane, took a boat out and dumped it in the Indian Ocean..without actual wreckage this could be a possibility
A suicidal person may not want a surviving family member or loved ones to live with the stigma of a person who took down over 200 innocent people with him.
If the suicide can not be proven, and the possibility of that something else happened, the family survivors are better off.
Suicide decisions are not always a spur of the moment thing, and can be planned months in advance.-Tom
In my book, DG is out for four reasons 1 - it was the Russian propaganda machine that started the rumor, day one. 2-the fake 'black photo' appears to be nothing more than a twisted attack on the family of, who'da guessed -the one adult American on the flight. 3 - transferring the blame for the disappearance on the USA draws attention away from the moosefolk - it's a rumor designed to create tension between the USA and China, and 4-if the USA diverted the aircraft for security reasons, they wouldn't keep the passengers incommunicado for 30 days while families wailed. We would have announced the situation and everyone would be home by now as we all celebrated yet another avoided disaster.
