MH370 Pilot, Captain Zaharie Amad Shah, Deliberately Crashed Plane In Murder-Suicide, Says Australian TV Show
Only a small amount of debris from the crash has ever been found.
As CBS News reports, an international group of aviation experts, speaking to 60 Minutes Australia, reviewed the evidence and concluded that it was no accident that brought down the aircraft. Rather, it was a deliberate act carried out by a captain who knew exactly what he was doing, says Canadian Air crash investigator Larry Vance.
“He was killing himself; unfortunately, he was killing everybody else on board, and he did it deliberately.”
Deliberately Evading Radar
Reviewing the aircraft’s flight plan and comparing it against military radar, Boeing 777 pilot and instructor Simon Hardy determined that Shah flew the plane along the border of Thailand and Malaysia, deliberately flying in and out of each country’s airspace. That allowed the aircraft to stay off of military radar — and it was a success, says Hardy, since no military aircraft were sent up to dispatch the craft.
Shah was aided, unwittingly, in his suicide mission by his co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid, according to The Evening Standard. The inexperienced first officer had never flown a 777 without a training officer beside him, so he may have been unaware of what Shah was doing.“If you were commissioning me to do this operation and try and make a 777 disappear, I would do exactly the same thing.”
