Son of Malaysian Airlines captain breaks silence about father

Ahmad Seth, the 26-year-old son of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, broke his family's silence about the speculation concerning his father.

Seth told New Straits Times that his father is not a "political fanatic." He said, "I've read everything online, but I've ignored all the speculation. I know my father better."

“We may not be as close as he travels so much, but I understand him,” he told New Straits Times.

Like many others, Seth is still hoping that there will be survivors from the ill-fated flight. Earlier this week, the Malaysian government concluded that the 239 people aboard the flight had died.

Why not post the article itself rather than the article telling us there is an article?

Neither one of them had any information anyway.

The pilot has become a convenient culprit for the Malaysian government...whose radar technicians now claim to have been “out of the room” when the plane flew for hours through their airspace...and is going to be blamed for this because it’s easy and diverts attention from Malaysia, the country that sponsored the Bali bombers (apparently with some official connivance).

The pilot was not a Muslim fanatic but was dedicated to a secularist party that does not feature either suicide or murder as one of its promotional activities. The co-pilot, on the other hand, was an unmarried “devout Muslim” and was also the last one to answer the call, albeit very informally and not in a standardized form.

There was also a third flight engineer on the plane, IIRC. I don’t know if he worked for that airline or a code sharing partner, but he was flying, the way a lot of people do, to take a break with family or spend a little time somewhere. So let’s examine all of this before convicting the guy the Malaysian government wants to be sentenced to retroactive death.

“I will believe it when I see the proof in front of my eyes.”

In other words no matter what the evidence he will refuse to believe that his father killed 238 people and then committed suicide.

In that family photo the girl looks like she is about 11 and the boy about 6 and yet we hear now from his supposed son 26 and the other day his daughter 27. How is that possible???

Did he have another wife???

His wife in that picture looks to be no older than 30 and he looks about 50, and yet he is only 53 now???

Somebody needs to be doing some sleuthing around there.

Exactly. But then again, did anyone expect him to say anything different?

Well, I hate to say it, but if the pilot did commit some sort of criminal act, this is just the kind of thing that family members inevitably come out with.

So, it really doesn’t mean much.
