Earlier, the former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, questioned whether MH370 had even crashed into the Indian Ocean - and he blamed manufacturer Boeing for its fate.
‘The loss of the plane is due to the makers, Boeing. How can Boeing produce a plane that is so easily disabled?’
So per the Malaysian PM, it’s Boeing’s fault that the pilot was able to disable the ACARS and transponder.
