Why would anyone believe the current narrative?
Four people board the plane under stolen ID. No problem.
The pilot and sometimes the copilot are suspected of all kinds of things, but the fact is, there’s nothing that’s been released that appears to be suspicious at all, including what’s been said by his family members. Deleted file on what is after all a computer system? Stop the presses.
A signal supposed to have been from the missing plane, but which really has no provenance at all, gets analyzed using a 19th c method that’s never been used in a search like this is suddenly pushed as the one, the only, answer. Free publicity for INMARSAT.
The ongoing, apparently hopeless search is not called off, but the nature is changed, as it really had to be, and the families are finally told, look, everyone on the plane is dead.
Literally the only reports that could be the plane comes from a couple of eyewitness accounts, one a plane on fire and headed for the sea (oil rig off Vietnam) where very large debris is spotted, the other a report (perhaps it was more than one) of a low-flying airliner of some sort going across the Maldives.
Been listening to John Kerry too much? As far as I knew, things like Doppler shift, satcom and airplanes were unknown in the 19th century.

In courts, eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
If the plane went down in flames near an oil rig, debris would have already been found by civilians.
If the plane went down near the Maldives, the Inmarsat satellite would have recorded different signal strength readings.
Anything is possible-most of the passengers on that flight were Chinese, and those guys have been really vocal about being pissed.
Even if-as reported-the two first looked at with stolen were supposedly just trying to get to Europe illegally for a new life, how does that prove they weren’t hijackers?
I heard the FBI didn’t find anything untoward in the pilot’s deleted files, but with a fancy rig like that he was surely geek enough to know nothing is ever really deleted unless you take a chainsaw to the hard drive.
And what, if anything was there in his personal life that might have led him to hijack? He was separated from his wife, had a girlfriend/mistress, etc-that isn’t cheap in any country, even for a pilot. It is a mystery for sure-I just hope the plane is found soon so the relatives of those lost can mourn properly and have closure-solving the mystery can come as it will.
Whatever the guy on the oil rig saw, it was not MH370. The distance from the oil rig to MH370's last transponder location was 365 miles.
Unless MH370 had flown towards the oil rig before blowing up, it would have been too far away to have been seen from the rig. But Malaysian military radar had it heading directly away from the rig, not towards it.
And, in any case, we know it still responded to Inmarsat's bird at 8:11 that morning, long after the oil rig report.
