Rogue pilot? Air crash investigator says MH370 was ‘deliberately’ flown into ocean
While the current theory suggests the ill-fated Flight MH370 was unpiloted when it crashed over the ocean with 239 people on board, a leading air crash investigator cites “definite evidence” the plane was brought down by somebody in the cockpit.
More than two years after the Boeing 777, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared somewhere over the Indian Ocean, presumably killing all passengers and crew on board, investigators have been struggling to explain what happened. It is widely believed the pilots and the passengers were already dead or incapacitated when the Boeing 777 hit the water.
Wang Guohui, mother of a passenger of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, cries while holding a painting which her family made for wishing the return of her son, at Yonghegong Lama Temple in Beijing March 8, 2015.
But Larry Vance, a leading Canadian air crash investigator who led a 1998 inquiry into the downing of Swissair Flight 111, believes MH370 was not a “ghost flight.” Instead, it could have been glided into the ocean by an active pilot, he told Australia’s Channel 9 on Sunday.
