I think it is fairly obvious that the Captain pilot locked the First Officer out of the cockpit, and then committed deliberate suicide, at the same time murdering everyone else on board. Even if the black boxes were found, the How and What would be answered, but not the Why. Disgusting... and So Sad for the families of the victims.

[@fiddlermargie]

Motive?

[@sahazmarkk5624]

• If the Pilot locked the cockpit at Igari, it was not possible for him to disappear off radar without turning off ACARS navigation, because the switch to it in MH370 was outside the cockpit. So either both captain and FO were involved (no theory suggests involvement of FO Hamid) or neither of them. • According to the official narrative the last contact of ATC radar was Igari and then plane changed it's course but According to Kaula Lampur ATC as shown in recording it was Bitod (they repeated 3 times)which means the plane keep travelling in the plane path towards south china sea but Malaysia covered it up and said we don't know why KL ATC said that. • It is highly unlikely that plane went through primary radar of 2 country's airspace and neither of them noticed and deployed fighter jets. • In 2016 when official narrative was getting criticism and people were calling it an international coverup, all of a sudden Inmarsat which works under british government said thier satalite caught MH370 ACARS which was turned on later on again according to official narrative and showed arcs where plane possibly could go. they again tried to save the fake narrative. • Last of all, they tried to make narrative against captain's personal life. But according to his wife and daughter he'd never do such thing. Even if you hear him talk in recordings he sound like just another day at office, he was posting youtube tutorials of DIY fixes a year ago with his family, he had no suicidal tendencies and surely not psychopathic tendencies that would make him mastermind killing over 200 people by depressureizing, fooling ATC and Airforces to travel in middle of Indian ocean to crash the plane. Official narrative was most definately an international coverup to avoid Humiliation and maybe something bigger.

[@fiddlermargie]

@@sahazmarkk5624I remember that the military radar tracked a primary target from near the last transponder hit moving west northwest until it went out of radar range. There was a major runway on that course, I think it was Phucket, that I thought he may have been headed for, but couldn't get the airplane down. Something major happened to the plane's systems, electrical failure certainly, most of the passengers probably died onboard at some point, and the pilot(s) also eventually succumbed. Perhaps a fire and/or decompression. No one will ever know for sure. I like to think the pilot, before dying himself, set a course into the ocean to avoid casualties on the ground. It did make another left turn after being lost on primary radar.

[@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible]

The fact that the sensitive hydrophones off the west coast of Australia picked up a far distant "geological event" but not the sound of a jet liner smashing into the sea, along with the absence of a wide debris field implies the aircraft was traveling very slowly and essentially "landed" on the water.

[@melissacoxen6001]

The wing of the plane they found proves that is not the case. The plane wasn't configured for a ditching. The aeleron would have been extended and it wasn't. They found 30 pieces of plane on the opposite side of the ocean. The plane wing was configured for regular flight. They couldn't have slowed it down enough to get close to the water or land softly.

[@melissacoxen6001]

The loud bang they found actually could have been the plane but since it was so far from the location they chose to search they decided it was likely a volcanic event underwater but they never actually proved it, or researched it. They shrugged it off but with where they found wreckage way out close to where that sound came from, it makes me think it was the plane. Malaysia doesn't want that plane found because it makes their captain and crew look bad and they won't acknowledge it.

[@lindaluvsfood7389]

@@melissacoxen6001 that's a possible theory, however 1 thing people need to consider is ocean currents & drifts, the first piece of debris of MH370 was not found until over 1 year after the crash. During that 1 year period there would've been alot of ocean currents and geological changes which would have carried the debris across the Indian ocean to the other side of the search area. So it's still possible that the plane crashed exactly where or near the search area was, and the debris were simply carried or drifted over to the other side of the Indian ocean by currents over time.

[@YouOnlyIiveTwice]

The greatest mystery regarding this incident isn't even so much where it is, but why it happened to begin with. I imagine finding the airplane will be somewhat closure for all the victim's families, but I don't know if we will ever figure out conclusively why the pilot(s) deviated to fly into the middle of nowhere and pretty much intentionally making it very difficult to find the aircraft. It's all just very bizarre. I suppose the black box might reveal something, but that's assuming it can be retrieved and it wasn't destroyed.

[@TheSilverIllusion]

Or that it even has readable information anymore. :( Which is very, very unlikely, given that it has already been 10 years. Even Air France 447's blackboxes were read out by pure luck. Don't even want to fathom what 10 years in deep water might do to the data.

[@BeyondInvestigation]

The FDR and CVR unfortunately only record the last 2hrs of any incident (Of a flight that started 2 OR more hours before), according to Boeing regarding MH370 (which seems pretty archaic since the plane was built in 2002 and by then digital voice recorders were plentiful, reliable and cheap for a 24hr recorder)... That would give investigators the ability to hear if anyone is moving, talking, fighting or even breathing in the cockpit on the CVR. The FDR would have any and all instrumentation data including if anyone was manually doing anything or entering any way-points/destinations.... If a catastrophic incident happened just after the hand-off from Malaysia to Vietnam airspace, there would be no recorded record of what exactly happened instrumentation wise nor would there be any voice recordings of the cockpit crew.

[@pamelakinnane1863]

To add another question to the MH370 mystery... The pilot turned the plane around, and flew back over the Malay peninsular, headed up the Malacca Strait towards Sumatra. Aircraft need clearance from Air Traffic Control to deviate from their intended flight path, so they don't crash into other aircraft. How did he avoid other aircraft in the area? R.I.P

[@abhisheksalvi_]

I think it was the pilot. He turned off all the communication channels. He had some political motives. He must have made demands to Malaysian government and they didn’t agree. Malaysian government tried to cover it up.

[@Sashazur]

Even if he was intentionally flying in an area with other planes, and they didn’t know he was there, the chance of a collision would be tiny. The sky is a really big place.

[@paradisedreaming6363]

The only thing that makes me feel slightly more at peace is that with the significant climb it made, the cabin would have de- pressurized and the people on board would have passed out and died. The cockpit would have had a longer supply of oxygen, but would have run out again after the pressure loss. When it crashed, there is a very good chance that none of the passengers were aware of what was going on, or were already deceased. No one would have suffered or drowned.

But the only person who had 4 hour oxygen, was the pilot. He then flew this ‘tomb’ for six more hours before he crashed in the ocean.
