Connor Norton - MH370 experts think they’ve finally solved the mystery of the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight

Back in 2014, a Malaysian Airlines flight went missing with all its 239 occupants, none of whom would be seen again. The story of the missing plane went viral pretty immediately, and while families have been forced to come to terms with the deaths of the passengers, no bodies have actually been found, nor has the wreckage. Still, perhaps the biggest mystery of all is what went wrong in the first place, and experts have recently come to a fitting, if horrifying, conclusion: the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, purposefully incapacitated everyone aboard before crashing the plane in an act of mass-murder/suicide. The story goes that Zaharie rapidly depressurized the airplane, causing all unmasked occupants to pass out from a lack of oxygen before turning to fly past his home town of Penang, Malaysia in a series of turns previously inexplicable for those attempting to find the truth; he then crashed somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Though this explanation can't be proven until the wreckage is found, it is the only plausible sequence of events that accounts for all the evidence compiled by investigators working on the case.

This ties in to the history of Jonestown in which cult leader Jim Jones and the members of his People's Temple (the name for his cult) started a settlement in remote Guyana (long story), culminating in a mass murder/suicide event in which over 900 Jonestown residents were forced under duress to drink grape Flavor Aid laced with cyanide, resulting in the second greatest loss of american lives in one day behind 9/11. These are related as they involve a single individual in a position of power (at least situationally) who used that power to commit murderous and suicidal acts against an unsuspecting group of civilians, and both are terrible tragedies that one can only hope are never repeated in any way, shape, or form.

  1. That seems plausible yet every where in the Indian Ocean was checked and not even a single passenger seat was found or a body. That is however an extremely plausible answer.
