Oh, stop it. The names of the passengers have been published already. Someone on that plane is likely the cause of the death of the others.

FAA warned six months ago that Boeing jets similar to missing flight MH370 were vulnerable to mid-air break up
FAA had ordered airlines to fix possibly fatal flaw in Boeing 777s by this April
It said they must 'detect and correct cracking and corrosion in the fuselage’
Failure to fix the flaw could put the aircraft at risk of ‘a rapid decompression’
Malaysia defence minister today said the plane had been 'fully serviced' and all maintenance checks 'were in order'

Hey - did you hear that a Malaysian Airliner disappeared?!? Let me post a link for you!!!

No need to post old news and be snarky. It's not my fault you can't keep up.

...The fact that a hijacking of some type has now been confirmed as the most likely cause of MH370’s disappearance also means that the police are renewing their investigations into the 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. The police are looking into four possibilities: hijack, sabotage and personal and psychological problems. And as the “deliberate” actions involved in disabling the plane’s communications, and then diverting it onto a new course, clearly required detailed knowledge of the Boeing 777 and no little skill, interest has inevitably focused on the pilot and co-pilot...

What seems like a conspiracy theory a few days ago is the central theory now.

Yes, the manifest has been published, so that families and friends can be aware of missing loved ones. And yes, someone on the plane is likely the cause of death of others. How does that mean it's ok to slander the dead passengers with unsubstantiated accusations? I hope something like this never happens do you or your loved ones, and I hope that theories about your personal life aren't needlessly brought out to international speculation by anybody and everybody, based on nothing but the indulgent curiosities of random-ass people.

Leave the dead be. If someone is responsible, it will come out regardless of your needless chatter about the dead.

Peter King has just made a statement that this was most likely pilot suicide. It's really the only explanation that could make sense. The pilot wanted to ditch the plane in the most remote ocean location possible, to preserve his family's life insurance. He was a devoted follower of an indonesian minority politician who had been sentenced to five years in prison just hours before the flight took off. The changes in altitude were meant to disable the passengers and avoid radar.

So you could make the case for motive, opportunity, and ability to carry it out.

To me, that's the explanation that could be true that doesn't have any holes in it that I can see.

Ehh, just another theory.

Does Peter King really have any idea how life insurance policies in Malaysia are structured?

He explained how the plane could stay in the air for hours with no pilot or autopilot. When the wings would hit a certain pitch, the plane would turn, and then stay straight until the next time the plane bobbled too much. He also pointed out that if this was the work of an experienced pilot, they would know how to keep the plane relatively stable and not wobble over 20,000 feet. I still vote for explosive decompression and a plane so smart it didn't know how to crash.

It still makes more sense than the Hollywood movie conspiracy plots that are being thrown around now.


Oh I want to believe this too! I feel like any of the other alternatives are just just horrifying and cruel. Hope we're right!


After spending considerable time reading on two very active pilot forums, many of whom fly the 777 - I would say that none of the pilots think that this was a non deliberate act. They have also debunked the high altitude - depressurized cabin - death myth with a lot of technical jet engine language!

And yes I actually read a 400 page discussion thread on one of those forums about this situation. Really interesting to hear the discussion from an insider perspective although i can only understand about 30% of it due to all the technical language and shorthand codes they use.

So what did it say? Tell us. Link please -- pretty bored here with all this snow.


PP back who posted that. I will see if I can find it. I clicked on a link on one of the many reddit threads and it took me to that pilot thread and then clicked on a link in a post on that forum to another forum. I don't actually frequent pilot forums and I didn't really note the name of the forums but it should be in my history, I'll see if I can find it.

If you aren't used to reading reddit it takes a bit to get used to - but many, many pages of speculation there too.

FYI it is believed that the person who signed off "alright, good night" was the co-pilot.

Haha - you sound like a 13 yo. Again, don't get angry with me if you're clueless.

Here is a link (sorry long) that explains the term coffin corner, which means that the minimum and maximum speed are the same and the plane drops down sharply, due to physics of flying. Sometimes that can be halted, sometimes not. In any case, that fly up, plunge down is pretty hard on the breathing of people. RIP the folks on Flight 340.

I don't know which one PP was talking about, but PPrune (or something like that) was linked maybe 15 pages back, and that has a nice (albeit loooong) thread on it about the Malaysia plane.
