Malaysian police have expanded an investigation into the missing plane to include ground crew, caterers and the farmers who picked four tons of mangosteens, a tropical fruit, that were in the hold.
Despite failing to find any suspicious evidence about the passengers or crew, Khalid Abu Bakar, Malaysia’s police chief, said he was confident that the case would be solved. He said police traced the mangosteens, a tangy Asian fruit with leathery skin around juicy white flesh, to an orchard in the city of Muar and examined both the farmers and the Chinese importers.
“Imagine how many people we must interview to rule out sabotage,” he said.
“We tracked down who plucked the fruits, who packed and shipped them out, and who put them on the plane. Then, we had to see who was to receive them in China and who paid for it, and how much.”

I fold!
Perhaps it was the Salmon Mousse in the Drawing room with the Lead pipe.
Grasping at straws now.
Fruitless…LOL. More bs from “authorities.” I’m sure the public is relieved to know they are looking under every rock for leads.
I really thought this was coming from the 'Onion'.
They interviewed my neighbor’s cousin’s wife’s dentist so this is a THROUGH inverstigation of all friend-of-a-friend tales.
“What’s ‘fruit’ got to do with it” (to quote Tina Turner)
The plane turned off course and flew for hours.
More b.s.
Passengers were ‘cleared?’
Does that include the 2 IRANIAN passengers using STOLEN passports who had a nice IRANIAN MAN pay for their tickets in CASH?
I’ve heard of bad airline food, but this is the first I’ve heard about poisoned airline food causing a crash.
So some wild mangosteen rolled up to the cockpit, took over the plane, turned it around and flew it for 7 hours.
I want to meet the farmers who grow these things.
Bigfoot, UFOs and the paranormal make for great programming but 777s just don't disappear out of the sky. If it crashed into the ocean someone would have found a floating suitcase, a piece of the plane or something.
I think it's scattered over a jungle in one of the two mentioned countries above and they're embarrassed to come out and admit it.
mangosteens (mang kut) are delicious but eating too many will lead to “explosive” gas. Trust me, I know.
The pilots were members of you know what.
No further explanation needed.
But will they make you disable a transponder, turn a plane around and fly it for 7 hours to scuttle it into the Indian Ocean????
No, but it might temporarily disable the gagging passengers!!
I thought that too. Then you have to ponder what about the ETL signals. Also, our government stated that our satellites did not pick up any explosions at flight level.
It is a mystery... Somebody knows what happened..... we will find out in due course..
Meanwhile on an airstrip in Pakistan/Iran. :-)
