But...why? To what end? The most likely government cover up is the Malaysian government covering up the pilot's mental health issues. |
Actually the first piece was found by locals. Then that guy talked to some oceanographers (who were quoted in one of the articles, though they weren't in the Netflix documentary) who told him the two coastlines most likely to have debris, and over the years he has found a lot of it. Like 60 or 70 percent. But - others have found pieces, and importantly, the FIRST piece was found by locals, not this Indiana Jones wannabe. |
This is really strange to not find any luggage or seats or anything how is that even possible? |
An explosion that destroys everything? Is that possible? |
And their own lax air traffic control safety issues |
They did find over 200 pieces of debris on African beaches over a year later … there was a lot of other junk on those beaches so probably did not seem out of the ordinary when it first started washing up … |
By coincidence we were staying at Mozambique beach where the guy started looking in 2015 and the beaches were covered in flotsam and junk. It probably just looked liked more of the same until someone knew what to look for. |
Government cover up makes less sense. Except by Malaysian government shielding themselves from culpability, law suits and Shame. They already pumped 1 million into the airline and took it over to prevent it going completely bust. 1. The pilot simulated the exact same path a month before - he had the skills and experience to carry this terrible plan out. 2. The pilot was having marital problems probably due to the affair he was having. His wife and kids moved out the day before the incident. He was reportedly extremely upset about his family imploding. 3. The pilot chose a midnight red eye flight when there were even less air traffic control than usual and his copilot was a complete novice so unlikely to challenge his decisions. 4. There is no reason for the British company Inmarsat to fake the data. 5. Many pieces of debris were later found on cluttered African beaches, which is where you would expect it to wash up if plane was downed in Indian Ocean. 6. Malaysian government withheld info about pilot’s mental health, family problems and simulation of strange flight path that is not useful for commercial flights. |
1 billion not million |
Some people will do anything for money, so if the govt had Inmarsat fake data, would not surprise me. Same with the purported simulation.
I agree it could very well be the pilot but flying for 6 hours until the fuel runs out is just weird. If you wanted to go out in such a dramatic fashion, just disappearing is counter intuitive. |

Of course it was weird - it was criminally insane. There may have been some sane part of his brain wanting to minimize the damage in built up areas … Or he may have wanted to protect his children from being accused of having a murderous father but feed a noble hero narrative in his mind … various reasons why he may have chosen this route. So messed up to not have empathy for the anguish this dramatic act would cause hundreds of families … |
How would all the "official" searchers not look there? |
They were still looking in the Indian Ocean for two years |
Not really, there would pieces of something, anything. |
