Zahari Ahmad Shah (pictured) was the pilot of the doomed flight
DID THE PILOT REFUSE HIS OWN PLANE?
Pilot Zahari Ahmad Shah planned a massacre due to personal problems by locking his co-pilot out of the cockpit, shutting down all communications, lowering the pressure in the main cockpit and then deactivating the plane so he could continue flying on autopilot until exhausted. fuel.
This was a popular theory in the weeks after the plane’s disappearance.
According to rumors in Kuala Lumpur, his personal problems include parting ways with his wife, Fiza Khan, and his outrage that a relative, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, was sentenced to five years in prison for sodomy shortly before boarding a flight to Beijing.
But the pilot’s wife angrily denied any personal problems, and other family members, and his friends said he was a devoted family man and loved his job.
This theory is the conclusion of the first independent study of the disaster by New Zealand-based air accident investigator Ewan Wilson.
Wilson, the founder of Kiwi Airlines and the commercial pilot himself, came to the shocking conclusion after considering “every possible alternative scenario.”
However, he is unable to provide any convincing evidence to support his theory.
The allegations were made in the book “Goodnight, Malaysian 370”, which Wilson co-wrote with New Zealand journalist Jeff Taylor.
Zachary is also said to have used a flight simulator at home to chart a route to a remote island.
However, Kuala Lumpur officials said Malaysian police and FBI technical experts had found nothing to suggest he was planning to hijack the flight after carefully examining his flight simulator.
There are also theories that the tragic disappearance may have been a heroic act of sacrifice by the pilot.
Australian aviation enthusiast Michael Gilbert believes the doomed plane caught fire during the flight, forcing the pilot to draw a course away from densely populated areas.
IF NOT THE PILOT, IS THE SECONDARY PILOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MYSTERY?
Co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, was again suspected of personal problems by rumors that he had overpowered the pilot and disabled the plane, leading to his death, with crew and passengers unable to pass through the locked door. the cockpit.
Theorists have suggested that he had relationship problems and that this was his dramatic way of taking his own life.
But he was engaged to marry Captain Nadira Ramley, 26, a fellow pilot from another airline, and he loved his job. There are no known reasons why he took any fatal action.
There were a series of strange theories about the plane’s disappearance
Others suggest that because he is known to occasionally invite young women into the cockpit during a flight, he did so this time and something went wrong.
Young Jonty Russ said in March that she spent a full flight in 2011 on the cockpit, amused by Hamid, who was smoking.
Interest in the co-pilot was renewed when it was revealed that he was the last person to communicate from the cockpit after the communication system was interrupted.
RUSSIANS STOLE MH370 AND STOLE SLOTS TO KAZAKHSTAN
An expert claims that the missing flight 370 of Malaysia Airlines was hijacked on the orders of Vladimir Putin and landed secretly in Kazakhstan.
Jeff Wise, the American science writer who led CNN’s coverage of the Boeing 777-200E, based his incredible theory on signals that the plane emitted for seven hours after its disappearance, which were recorded by the British telecommunications company Inmarsat.
Wise believes that the hijackers “falsified” the navigation data of the plane to make it look like it was going in another direction, but took it to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which is rented from Kazakhstan by Russia.
However, Wise admits to New York Magazine that he does not know why Vladimir Putin would like to steal a plane full of people, and that his idea is somewhat “crazy.”
Wise also noted that there were three Russians on board the flight, two of whom had Ukrainian passports.
Aviation disaster experts analyzed satellite data and found – similar to data recorded by Inmarsat – that the plane was flying hours after losing contact.
Careful examination of the evidence revealed that the MH370 made three turns after the last radio call, first a left turn, then two more, taking the plane west, then south to Antarctica.
MH370 WAS USED BY TERRORISTS FOR SUICIDE ATTACK AGAINST CHINESE Navy
This unusual statement came from 41-year-old British yachtswoman Catherine Tea from Liverpool, whose initial account of seeing a burning plane in the night sky spread around the world.
Arriving in Phuket, Thailand, after sailing the Indian Ocean from Cochin, South India with her husband, she said: “I could see the outline of the plane – it looked longer than usual. There was something that looked like black smoke from behind. ‘
Ms. Tee’s general description of the time and place was unclear, and she lost all credibility when she later said in her blog that she believed the MH370 was a kamikaze aircraft aimed at a flotilla of Chinese ships and shot down before to be able to break in the vessels.
Without solid evidence of satellite data, she wrote in her blog Saucy Sailoress, the plane she saw was flying at low altitude to the military convoy she and her husband had seen last night. She added that an internet survey showed that there was a Chinese flotilla in the area at the time.
Although the wreckage proved the plane crashed in the Indian Ocean, the location of the main underwater wreckage – and its important black box recorders – remains elusive.
THE PLANE LANDED ON THE WATER AND CAN BE SEEN TO FLY ON THE ANDAMAN SEA
During a flight from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur, which crossed the Andaman Sea on March 8, Malaysian Raja Dalela, 53, saw what she said was a plane perched on the surface of the water.
She did not know about the search for MH370. She warned the flight attendant, who told her to go back to sleep.
“I was shocked to see what the tail and wing of an airplane in the water looked like,” she said.
It was only when she told her friends when she landed in Kuala Lumpur what she saw that she learned about the missing plane. She saw the object around 2.30 pm Malaysian time.
She said she was able to identify several ships and islands before spotting the silver object, which she said was an airplane.
But its story was replaced by pilots who said it would be impossible to see part of a plane in 35,000-foot or seven-mile water.
Ms. Raja submitted an official report to the police the same day and kept her story.
“I know what I saw,” she said.
THE PLANE CRIMINAL DISASTER SYSTEM AND SAID LANDING IN THE OCEAN
A catastrophic event such as a fire disrupted much of the equipment, causing pilots to turn the plane back to the Malaysian Peninsula in hopes of landing at the nearest airport.
Satellite data, plausible or not, suggests the plane has made a turn, and theorists say there will be no reason for pilots to change course unless they face an emergency.
A fire in a similar Boeing 777 aircraft parked at Cairo airport in 2011 was found to be caused by a problem with the first officer’s oxygen mask supply pipe.
Stewart Lowe, who is on trial in a series of recent air disasters, believes the plane crashed after a fire – similar to the runway on Cairo airport – broke out in the cockpit.
Following an investigation into the Cairo fire, the Egyptian Central Aviation Accident Investigation Directorate (EAAICD) published its final report, which revealed that the fire broke out near the first officer’s oxygen mask supply pipe.
The cause of the fire cannot be definitively determined, but investigators have identified a problem with the cockpit hose used to provide oxygen to the crew in the event of decompression.
Following the 2011 fire, American aircraft owners were instructed to replace the system – estimated at $ 2,596 (£ 1,573) per aircraft. It was not known whether Malaysia Airlines made the change.
If a pilot wanted to crash a plane, why turn it over? So the reversal suggests that they were trying to land as soon as possible due to an emergency.
The United States shot down the plane, fearing a terrorist attack on Diego Garcia
The Boeing 777 was shot down by the Americans, who feared the plane had been hijacked and was about to be used to attack the US military base on Diego Garcia Atoll in the Indian Ocean. This is what conspiracy theorists say.
And former French airline director Marc Dugen said he had been warned by British intelligence that he was taking risks by investigating this angle.
There is no way to check whether Dugen received such a warning or why he believes the Americans shot down the plane.
But in addition to the theory that the plane was flown to Diego Garcia, either by pilot Zachary or by a hijacker, there was a claim that the pilot’s home flight simulator was a “practicing” flight to the island.
Professor Glees said: “Americans would not be interested in doing something like this and not telling the world.
“In theory, they may want to shoot down a plane they think is attacking them, but they will not just launch missiles, but first investigate it with fighter jets and will quickly realize that even if it has to be shot down, the world will have to know.
Mr Rosenstein said: “The United States could not hide this fact and in any case, if it were true, it would acknowledge its actions, as it would prevent a successful terrorist attack and would act as a deterrent to future terrorist attacks. attacks ”.
