The analysis of MH370's erratic final movements paints a terrifying picture of the doomed flight's last moments, with an expert saying they fit the pattern of a pilot on a suicide mission who wanted to crash the plane in one of the world's most inaccessible areas.
The remote crash site ... means salvage teams might never recover the plane's black box, which would leave the flight's fate forever shrouded in mystery.
If that's the case, it would mean the family of a pilot, passenger or crew member responsible would still be eligible for compensation payments....
Authorities have been able to piece together a rough snapshot of the mystery flight's final moments. Shortly after its final voice communication on March 8, flight MH370 reportedly climbed suddenly to between 43,000 and 45,000ft where it remained for 23 minutes.
Military radar then picked up the plane flying as low as 5,000ft.
The distance to the now-defined crash site means the plane must have then climbed to a normal cruising altitude of around 35,000ft before eventually plunging into the southern Indian Ocean...
One experienced pilot told MailOnline that the sudden climb could have been a tactic to incapacitate the passengers and crew ....
He said the drop to 5,000ft could have been to re-pressurise the plane, before climbing again to its normal cruising altitude, before: 'flying to a remote location where you know no one would ever find it. That way insurers would still pay out to your loved ones.'
If the cabin was to be depressurised at 45,000ft, experts say, passengers and crew would only have about 15 seconds of functional consciousness before beginning to pass out.
Any one without access to a bottled oxygen supply - like the one found in the cockpit - would be dead in minutes....

Yeah, exactly. A rogue pilot is the worst possible scenario for Malaysian Airlines and Malaysia itself.
I believe that is why he did it - as a protest for the charges, almost certainly trumped up, - against Anwar.
Airline captain is a pretty plum job to have in a place like Malaysia. I don’t doubt he was getting some serious heat for his public anti government politics in an authoritarian place like Malaysia. There is motive right there.

Always remember when you look at beef on the hoof, hogs in a pen, and sheep in a field, there’s is not a conspiratorial mind in the bunch. The “powers that be” want us to be sheep and cattle and listening intently to their media, and not be wasting our time doing our own critical thinking.
