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:
- The article refutes popular conspiracy theories about MH370, asserting that extensive scientific analysis (e.g., Inmarsat data, flaperon discovery) confirms the plane is in the Indian Ocean, a conclusion reached by a credible international investigation.
- The author largely dismisses theories of terrorism or pilot suicide, citing the lack of supporting evidence, logical inconsistencies in the flight path, and the pilots' profiles.
- Instead, two non-nefarious accident scenarios are proposed: an electrical fire similar to a past Egyptair incident leading to depressurization and pilot incapacitation, or a cargo fire, possibly from lithium batteries, that incapacitated the crew and allowed the plane to fly on autopilot until fuel exhaustion.
