There’s a lot of conflicting information, isn’t there, and all the theories are just speculation at this point.
All I’m saying is that if it was an act of terrorism, religious motivation doesn’t add up - political, does. It’s not impossible of course, but particularly with it being an Malaysian flight with primarily Chinese occupants, it’s an awful stretch.
Malaysia does not have serious conflicts with any other country right now. Malaysia is not Pakistan, nor Indonesia. As as source of muslim terrorism, the UK is probably a more likely one than Malaysia except against Israel which they detest.
I can a see a terrorist doing doing this to bring attention to the situation with Anwar, and embarrass and discredit the Malaysian govt. It’s the most obvious explanation if it is indeed terrorism. Of course it might still not be the correct one.
Your scenario is quite convincing. Captain Zaharie,with his supreme knowledge of the Triple7 thru actual flight time and uncountable hours on his personal simulator, is the most obvious perp in this case.Why would he do it?
Seems like a combination of three things may have caused him to snap:
1; One day before Flight 370, Zaharie was in the courtroom and witnessed the overturn of a succesful Appeal by his political hero,Anwar Bin Ibrahim, for(allegedly trumped-up)charges of sodomy. Zaharie was outraged when he witnessed the Malaysian government-controlled High Court sentence Anwar to 5 years in prison.
2; His domestic problems came to a boil with wife leaving Zaharie's house with his 3 kids
3; The approaching bankruptcy and closing down of Malaysian Airlines has been zinging around in his head for some time.
Difficult to say just what Captain Zaharie had in mind when he took that outbound left turn, but suicide was not his intention--he rages to humiliate the present Government of Malaysia for ripping Anwar Bin Ibrahim off the political chessboard.
And, by God, it's working!
But if the captain, some fundamental mistakes were made that i would not expect. Mainly climbing to 45,000 feet. Then stalling at 45,000 then taking 25,000 feet to recover.
I suppose all that could be a result of a struggle in the cockpit. As we talked about before. With the known facts (very little) anything is possible.
