By Jonathan Pearlman, in Kuala Lumpur 9:00PM GMT 24 Mar 2014 Flight MH370 crashed into the Indian Ocean in an apparent suicide mission, well-placed sources revealed have revealed, as Malaysias prime minister announced that everyone on the missing aircraft had died. The team investigating the Boeing 777s disappearance believe no malfunction or fire was capable of causing the aircrafts unusual flight or the disabling of its communications system before it veered wildly off course on a seven-hour silent flight into the sea. An analysis of the flights routing, signalling and communications shows that it was flown in a rational way. An official source told The Telegraph that investigators believe this has been a deliberate act by someone on board who had to have had the detailed knowledge to do what was done ... Nothing is emerging that points to motive.

Don't buy it...The floaties would move somewhat together along with the wind currents...Like the Japan tsunami.. Not saying it didn't hit the water, but I'd like to see pics of crash debris...
There was an incident last night with another Malaysian plane..going to South Korea there was some sort of electrical fire on board and guess what..the plane landed SAFELY and another thing..the pilots never turned off ACARS, never turned off the transponder either..they called it in and reported it and did what needed to be done to land the plane..no secrecy, no strange maneuvers
The supposed facts have changed so many times on this story that I’m not saying anything till they have verified wreckage.
Don’t know...There has been so much information/speculation etc, it’s pretty incredible..
And with a copilot and navigator who knew what was going on. They would have to.
I believe such events of known random pilotage suicide have happened at least 3 times in history with moslem virgin seeking martys at the controls. There is historical precedent. Theory cannot be discounted, and should be at the top of the list—certainly a highly likely scenario.
>>Were both pilots involved in this suicide mission?<<
I doubt we’ll ever know the truth for sure, but ever since the news came out of the pilot’s interest in the political opponent who was apparently railroaded at a trial just one day before the plane disappeared, I’ve suspected that the pilot commandeered the plane.
I think that if that’s the case he probably thought about doing a 9/11 on the Malaysian government which is why he swung around and turned south. If he came to his senses eventually, dumping the plane in the Indian Ocean would only make sense if he’d already dispatched the passengers and the rest of the crew.
If the plane is ever found and there’s evidence that the pilot was flying it, and the passengers were already dead, that would support what I’m saying, but unless he confessed to the black box or something, I doubt anyone will ever know even if we find the plane eventually.
My map collection isn’t what it was but it seems that this aircraft flew the reciprocal of its route to Beijing. Both in its heading and air miles. If true I think it interesting.
What, they had a source placed into the cockpit? The source must have parachuted out just in time.
Agreed. This makes no sense and is rather random. It’s almost like they decided......”OK, let’s wrap this up”. Something is just not right with this.....
They were both Muslims. That alone is prima facie evidence of extremism.
Is General McInerney standing by his theory from his inside sources?
I don’t watch “Fox” so just asking.
I don’t believe I’ve read prior anywhere what I’m about to write. If it’s a dupe, so be it:
What if the Captain pulled an ‘Egypt-Air’ “Alla-hackbar”, and the Malay government & the US are keeping it from the public (for obvious reasons)? Without regard to how it supposedly got so far down south (a suicide wouldn’t have flown so far).
Again, just throwing it out there. Occurred to me a week ago, but I haven’t cared about this much until they started pulling more ‘geek’ to locate a crash zone and then leapt upon that to declare it crashed with no wreckage.
Interesting video. I noticed that only 3 flights passed even remotely close to the current search area. I wonder what, if any, shipping traffic there is down there...
“(a suicide wouldnt have flown so far).”
He might have if he wanted the plane to just disappear and be a mystery. If this turns out to be the case, the only thing that apparently ruined it was the pinger on the engines.
What about insurance fraud? I wonder if the pilot or copilot had a large life insurance policy. I mean, it seems it was a deliberate attempt to evade radar, and the plane is ditched in a very remote part of the ocean. If not for the engine pings (which almost nobody including the pilot knew about), it seems that the chances of finding the wreckage, or any information would be impossible other than small parts.
I don’t know if it would be possible to jump out of a 777 plane at low level/speed with a parachute. Could he arranged to have a boat pick him up out there?
It certainly is desolate out there, between Australia and Africa.
I've also wondered about ship traffic in that area. I of at lest 4 different web sites that track air traffic around the world.
It would be orders of magnitude easier to do the same for ship traffic, but have been unable to find a web site that offers that information. I assume commercial ships of all kinds are expected to report their position periodically for safety and security, if for no other reason.
Anyone know of a "shipping" version of "Flight Aware?"
I’ve been wondering, if the pilot control-glided the plane into the ocean, a la Sullenberg in the Hudson, there would be no debris, and the plane would have sank without an immediate debris field. However, after plunging into the watery depths, the fuselage would have caved and any and all buoyant material would have risen to the surface.
Of course, I don’t know if any of this happened, I am just postulating a scenario where there wasn’t an impact site to scatter airplane parts for 2 thousand yards.
I keep thinking of the movie Cast Away with Tim Hanks and thinking “How did they handle the obvious plot flaw...” that Hanks’ FEDEX plane’s transponder would have been telling the air control where they were as they veered off course, and that debris field and black boxes would have meant someone should have been able to locate Hanks’ island as it would have only been a 6 hour wind-driven drifting away from the crash site.
Just some food for thought.
I read earlier that he loved to fly.
Maybe he decided he wanted to go out with a sunrise to his left.
