MH370 pilot made many turns and speed changes, new report reveals
I don&#x27;t know why there&#x27;s still so much speculation as to what happened on this flight because it seems clear there&#x27;s really only one explanation that fits the evidence: after leaving Malaysian airspace the pilot executed a series of maneuvers and turned the plane over the Indian Ocean where it either made a soft landing, filled with water and sank or crashed into the ocean. Given the minimal debris, it seems the soft landing may be more plausible.<p>The maneuvers, radio silence and timing of leaving Malaysian airspace all point to deliberate action. There are questions here like what happened to the cockpit crew.<p>As for the passengers, the most likely explanation I&#x27;ve seen is that the cabin was depressurized and hypoxia likely eliminated that problem.<p>Why? The most likely explanation is suicide-by-plane much like the Germanwings incident. It seems like this was even more premeditated such that a lot of effort was made to make sure the plane wasn&#x27;t found, likely this was so the pilot&#x27;s family would get a settlement as the pilot&#x27;s actions couldn&#x27;t be ruled a suicide without the black box.<p>Literally nothing else makes sense.<p>I don&#x27;t know how long the black box can retain information, particularly given it&#x27;s likely ~4km under the ocean and by now has been for years. It&#x27;s a shame the extensive (and expensive) efforts to locate the wreck have all failed. The search area is remote and deep making search operations difficult and expensive.<p>This too seems to be by design.<p>It also seems quite likely that investigators having the pings from the plane to narrow down the search area was a flaw in that plan. The pilot was likely unaware of this possibility, which again is more evidence of deliberate action.<p>I do hope this can be settled one day.
