MH370 Lawsuit Suggests Electrical Failures Led to Crash

The lawsuit, filed Friday against Boeing in U.S. District Court in South Carolina, names seven malfunctions, from an electrical fire to depressurization of the plane's cabin, that could have led to the crew losing consciousness, the plane's transponder stopping its transmission and the plane flying undetected until it crashed after running out of fuel.

It came as families of the missing passengers and officials marked Wednesday's third anniversary of the Boeing 777's crash.

...

The U.S. lawsuit was filed by Gregory Keith, a special administrator for families who lost loved ones on the Malaysia Airlines flight. It names 44 victims as plaintiffs.

It was filed in South Carolina because Boeing has built a massive new plant in the state to build the 787 Dreamliner.

Boeing doesn't comment on pending lawsuits, but spokesman Tom Kim said in a statement the company's thoughts continue to be with the victims.

...

The lawsuit notes that search efforts for the plane have ended....

Boeing also didn't use available technology on its 777 planes that would have allowed them to be tracked at all times and made the flight and cockpit voice recorders easier to find, the lawsuit says.

Boeing knew of design flaws on the aircraft, including defective wiring near combustible sources like the emergency oxygen supply to the plane's crew, it says.

"The defects caused and/or allowed a massive and cascading sequence of electrical failures onboard the lost plane which disabled vital systems ... making it impossible for the crew to navigate the plane or for the plane to communicate with the ground stations leaving the aircraft to fly without the ability to communicate or control the aircraft until the plane ran out of fuel," lawyers wrote in the lawsuit.

Was MH-370 a test case?

A snippet from a BBC report on the passenger list came to mind just now so I went and looked just to recall the details.

“Also on the plane were 20 staff members from a US technology company, Freescale Semiconductor, which makes powerful microchips for industries, including defence.”

Maybe the CIA didn’t want them getting to Bejing with a samples kit.
