That Wired article is pretty persuasive that it was an accident. Enough so that I'm ready to sign off 'good night' myself on this little mystery until contradictory facts emerge. |
Why do you conclude suicide vs. steal the plane full of knocked out people? If it was suicide why wait 7 hours to die? |
And if it was suicide it was also murder. Was he a murderer? |
I'm with you. Never suspected terrorism - it simply doesn't fit. Possibly deliberate by the pilot, but doesn't look like it. Everyone's looking for a sexy answer, but I think the tragic accident angle is most likely. Especially in lieu of additional information. |
He loved flying. I'm sure if you know you were going to die and could control what your last few moments would be like you would choose to die doing something you loved. |
But do you believe the plane continued to fly for up to several (even seven) hours? If so, how does that agree with a theory of fire? |
NBC news reported tonight that the ACARS update at 1:07am showed that the change in course had already been entered, 12 minutes before the co-pilot said "good night". So the course change wouldn't appear to have been made in response to an emergency. |
Oh brother. Then why commit suicide at all? |
Here Jeff Wise refutes Goodfellow. Malaysia hasn't u-turned on the fact of that last ping, which is the arc it was last heard on. But, they only know it's on that line, not where on that line. Anything that doesn't hold up to that right now doesn't work, unless Malaysia comes back to say they're wrong. http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2014/03/18/mh370_disappearance_chris_goodfellow_s_theory_about_a_fire_and_langkawi.html |
He was clearly imbalanced. It's not logical but neither is taking down a whole plane when you could just jump off a bridge yet it has been done before. |
It was likely spotted flying over a remote island in Maldives. Many residents awoke to loud noise and saw a low flying plane fitting the description. |
The plot thickens. There were 2 runways in the Maldives located on the pilots flight simulator. |
The Maldives are beautiful! I call pilot protest with the authorities not releasing all information because well...what could any of the general public do anyway to release the jailed official that he clearly was in strong support of. |
The Jeff Wise piece is very compelling. |
Would the Maldives fit into the line of where they would have been? I can't seem to find a map that places the Maldives and the path. |
