This is on NF and I found it very intriguing and interesting. So many different theories as to what happened - with each one I thought "Yes, that's it", and then it was disproven. Maybe it will never be solved but there's definitely something being covered up. Absolutely appalling for the grieving relatives.

I don’t think a chestnut is going to change her fixed opinion. It’s what makes discussions on this site sooooo rewarding - not. I was on the verge of quitting, and have now decided to go as I can no longer tolerate such people. For all those willing to proper discuss, farewell.

Secondly that the plane was still being flown by the airline pilot when it turned off course.
The plane took a very unexpected turn at exactly the moment it was between two countries, so one country's air traffic control had not handed over to the second at that point. Therefore the flight could turn and skim along this 'no contact' corridor and escape detection until further south. Only the pilot could have calculated this very clever manoeuvre.

When does a theory morph into a conspiracy theory?

Okay, I will watch it, although I have seen a two part documentary already which went into great detail. I can't see how they will ever know for sure because the evidence is at the bottom of a very deep and enormous ocean. My theory is that the pilot wanted to create the biggest aviation mystery ever known to man, and if so then he succeeded in that.

None of the staff who worked with him believe that the pilot would behave in such a way. What exactly is your theory based on? It was at one point seen as an easy solution- to blame the pilot.

As I said:
When you look at the flight path, first avoiding the radar and then turning towards the open sea, there is no other conclusion. No-one would fly in that direction by accident, literally into the middle of nowhere.
How can you (or anyone) explain that very deliberate flight path? No-one knows what is going on inside someone else's head so friends and family might not have a clue what he was thinking or intending.

Chestnut the idea assumes so much
Firstly that someone who had no prior signs intended not only to commit suicide but to murder over 200 people to create a mystery.
Secondly that the plane was still being flown by the airline pilot when it turned off course.

Chestnut If only it were as simple as you make out.

But surely the wreckage deserve examination. And it was alleged the Reunion wreckage came from MH370. Did it really? As said before, the series ended with me having more questions than answers.

Katie59 Sat 11-Mar-23 07:50:46

And why has no-one ever looked at the supposed wreckage in the South China Sea.??

Because the aircraft was still flying and transmitting automatic data signals for several hours after it left that area and the aircraft parts washed up on Reunion Island was proved to come from MH 370

ExperiencedNotOld Fri 10-Mar-23 20:53:40

Yes, I’ve just watched it. Intriguing. Most definitely not that washed up in the Mozambique straits, but what was he up to? And why has no-one ever looked at the supposed wreckage in the South China Sea.? If left me waiting for yet another episode!

Why would a hijacker want to fly into the Indian Ocean? There would be no point. Their identity and purpose would be unknown, so their name would not be up in lights. Their cause would never be identified so there would be absolutely no point in doing this.

Aircraft don’t go off on their own they have 2 pilots, one of them had a death wish. It had to be deliberate the flight was still controlled and a course was eventually set into nowhere.

Have you considered hijacking?

Chestnut I think you need to watch the programme where aviation experts, scientists and technology experts dissect all the information that has arisen since MH370 went missing.

fiorentina51 Fri 10-Mar-23 03:17:20

I found it really interesting especially the third episode and the possible connection with the US.
Such a tragedy.

Chestnut Thu 09-Mar-23 23:51:38

Sparklefizz

Yes. Netflix.

But Chestnut more evidence has since emerged which questions your theory. Have you watched the programme?

Are you saying the flight did NOT head straight towards the Indian Ocean, in other words the middle of nowhere? If it did then my theory stands intact. If it didn't then I'll watch the programme.

Glorianny Thu 09-Mar-23 23:50:51

Thanks for the suggestion I watched it and was left wondering. Even the official report rejected the theory that it was a deliberate act. It must be awful to not know what happened to your loved ones.

henetha Thu 09-Mar-23 18:59:32

I watched half of it this afternoon and found it fascinating. I'll finish it tomorrow.
How awful for the families to never know what happened to their loved ones.

Zoejory Thu 09-Mar-23 18:55:57

We watched it and thought the same as you, Sparklefizz!

It was very interesting. So sad for the families. The never knowing. So hard to live with.

Sparklefizz Thu 09-Mar-23 18:03:44

I'm not going to argue for it. I found it very interesting, and feel desperately sorry for the families who have been repeatedly lied to by Malaysian Airlines .....but don't watch it if you're not interested.

Sparklefizz Thu 09-Mar-23 18:01:50

They are not conspiracy theories but theories based on technical data newly released.

GagaJo Thu 09-Mar-23 17:55:21

Malaysia Airlines have a bad track record too though. A friend had to fly with them later that year and was terrified when one of the engines caught fire and they had to return to Shanghai. And then had to get on another flight with them (work related trip).

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 09-Mar-23 17:42:31

What evidence is there that something is being covered up? I don’t have Netflix so have no idea what this latest conspiracy theory is.

Sparklefizz Thu 09-Mar-23 17:35:07

Yes. Netflix.

But Chestnut more evidence has since emerged which questions your theory. Have you watched the programme?
