So far, the only evidence against these pilots is electronic data evidence, and just how reliable is that evidence?
Recordings indicate the aircraft’s transponder was turned off a few minutes before the pilot made his last voice transmission with Kuala Lumpur airport, but when was the last time this equipment was calibrated? Does anyone know?
Boeing continued to receive pings from the aircraft’s engines for over five hours after the aircraft’s transponder ceased to transmit, but again, just how reliable is this electronic evidence?
The most reliable electronic evidence so far is the military radar recordings. Yes, recordings, as no one was monitoring the radar at the time the aircraft’s transponder stopped. These recordings indicate shortly after the transponder stopped, the aircraft climbed rapidly to 45,000 ft. altitude, then made a diving turn back toward the Malaysian mainland and toward the closest airport at Penang.
If we were to ignore the “questionable” electronic evidence and focus solely on the military radar recordings, we’d have a completely different theory of what happened to MH370.
Someone, possibly Xinjiang-Uighur separatist Muslim terrorists, managed to place a command detonated explosive device on board to destroy the airliner.
When this explosive device detonated, it severely damaged the aircraft’s electronic systems, the pilots temporarily lost control of the aircraft and it climbed rapidly, stalled, spun out of control, and fell toward the South China Sea.
Through a Herculean and heroic effort, the pilots regained control of the aircraft and turned it back toward the Malaysian mainland and toward the nearest airport suitable for landing at Penang. The pilots were able to control the severely damaged aircraft back to Penang but were unable to control it well enough to make a landing at Penang, overshot the city and crashed somewhere in the Malaccan Strait, or continued on to crash into a mountainside in Indonesia.
It may yet turn out that these pilots were heroes and not the villains they were so quickly labeled simply because of their religion.

Nifty theory, except no one has claimed responsibility. Also, the Straits are a narrow (8 miles average) and shallow (650 ft max) body of water, so we should have seen bodies and debris by now.
