Having reached the two-year mark, the disappearance of MH370 can certainly be called the greatest mystery since Amelia Earhart. But after talking with colleagues, friends and acquaintances, I’ve stumbled on another mystery.
Jumpseat: MH370 Speculation Prompts New Mystery
Key Takeaways:
- Extensive satellite data analysis and the discovery of a flaperon confirm MH370 is in the Indian Ocean, with a credible international investigation team leading the search.
- The article refutes theories of terrorism, pilot suicide, or a cover-up, citing a lack of evidence and the implausibility of such scenarios given the flight's trajectory and the nature of the investigation.
- The author proposes two main accident scenarios: an electrical fire leading to gradual depressurization and pilot incapacitation, or a cargo fire (potentially from lithium batteries) incapacitating the crew while the plane continued flying on autopilot until fuel exhaustion.
