'It was his last joyride': MH370 pilot was upset over wife moving out and in 'no state of mind to be flying', reveals his long-time friend

MH370 pilot devastated by his marriage breakdown

He warns Zaharie could have taken MH370 on a 'last joyride' and that the crew wouldn't have known something was wrong 'until it was too late’

It follows reports the doomed flight climbed to 43,000ft moments before disappearing from radar

It stayed at that altitude for 23 minutes, but oxygen would have run out after just 12 minutes, rendering passengers and crew unconscious

Expert says plane would have flown on until it ran out of fuel

While families of victims of MH370 are expected to start arriving in Perth as soon as the debris is confirmed as belonging to the plane

The Australian Prime Minister warned the search can't go on indefinitely

The pilot of doomed flight MH370 was distraught over his wife’s decision to move out of their family home and could have taken the plane for a ‘last joyride’ before it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean killing all 239 people on board, says a long-time friend of the pilot.

The friend, also a pilot, said Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah had been left rattled by his family problems, and didn’t appear to be in the right state of mind to be flying. He warned that it was ‘very possible that neither the passengers nor the other crew on-board knew what was happening until it was too late’.

‘He's one of the finest pilots around and I'm no medical expert, but with all that was happening in his life Zaharie was probably in no state of mind to be flying,’ he told the NZ Herald on the condition of anonymity.

It is at the bottom of the very large Indian Ocean.

True, but that wasn’t in the crappy article’s assumptions.
