More than four months have passed and Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 remains missing and the mystery behind its disappearance remains unsolved. Many theories emerged claiming the probable cause of the tragedy. However, none provided a definite answer. Meanwhile, sister of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah has finally spoken up in defence of her brother, who was reported to be considered the "prime suspect" in the police investigation of the missing jet.

On July 13, Channel News Asia reported that the sister of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah has "broken her silence" while speaking on the channel in Channel NewsAsia's special feature "The Mystery of MH370". According to the report, this is the "first ever interview" that the Captain's sibling appeared on after MH370 went missing. The show focused on the events of March 8, the night when Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared with 239 people on board.

Following the investigation, Captain Zaharie came under the suspicion of investigators. It is thought that if the plane disappeared due to human intervention, Captain Zaharie could be the man involved in the activity. The report notes that Captain Zaharie's sister, Sakinab Ahmad Shah "rejects the notion that her brother was responsible" for the tragedy.

To support her notion, Sakinab Zaharie said: "We couldn't figure out why somebody who would want to commit suicide would prolong the agony of flying for four, five, six hours just to land down there."

According to the data by the investigators, MH370 kept flying for over six hours after disappearing from radar detection.

"If it was done, if he was the one who planned it, he has to be some kind of Einstein, which he was not," Sakinab Zaharie added.

During the investigation, investigators found some flight simulators that only added to the suspicion surrounding Captain Zaharie.

Not really. Any competent pilot could program the flight computer to do what it did.........

This is like TWA 800 in that it’s one of those ‘mysteries’ that won’t go away.

Interesting incident on the same type aircraft operated by the same airline. This one happened with 2 not one experienced pilots and during daytime, not the middle of the night.

It is a pdf file:

When you see a headline like “Sister of Pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah Speaks in Defence of Her Brother” you just have to read the story. It’s just chock full of suspense.

Will she say he’s innocent? Will she say “We should praise him as a martyr to Allah?” Will she blame the Jooze? The possibilities are almost endless.

Well, I'm sure she's an objective observer.

This is why we should do away with trials for all gang-bangers, and simply hand them back to their mothers.

The smoking gun is the fact that he alone had no future plans, appointments, applications, agents etc. Everyone else on the plane did.

So he had the

means, in control of the plane;
method, shutdown identification equipment;
and a semblance of motive, no life.

What he did to the copilot, we can only wonder.
