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:
- Despite widespread conspiracy theories, scientific analysis of satellite data and the discovery of a flaperon confirm MH370's location in the Indian Ocean, where an extensive international search is underway.
- The author strongly refutes scenarios involving terrorism or pilot suicide, deeming them unlikely given the lack of credible motive, the logistical challenges, and the pilots' profiles.
- Two primary non-nefarious accident theories are proposed: an electrical fire similar to Egyptair Flight 667, or a cargo fire, potentially from lithium batteries, both leading to crew incapacitation and the aircraft flying on autopilot until fuel exhaustion.
