No way does a fire explain what happened, the climb to 45000 feet, the turn back to Malaysia, transponders being turned off, the navigational maneuvers through radar stations to get to the Indian Ocean that preceded the remaining flight south.

A way to contribute to the discussion.

The parts of the plane that were found and confirmed that it was from MH370 were NOT burned

I'm surprised that found parts are not burned. I believe there was a fire just as sailor Kate said. I do believe she saw the plane fly over their boat while it was on fire.

She and her husband were posting on a boat forum back then, things that she's said sound accurate to it being the plane. Her husband provided their boat GPS which was used to help tighten the route MH370 "flew".

I don't know if her posts are still on that forum, haven't been there in years. It's a lot of good reading if anyone is interested. Her husband said there was some sort of Navy ship also in the water at the same time, I don't think they were close enough to it to know who's Navy.

FWIW.
People vs machines!

People are usually very poor witnesses: we have imagination, supposition, we have a memory that falters, our mind may add additional details “to fill the voids” or to “help explain” what we are seeing, we have biases, etc, etc.

Add to that our emotional weaknesses like attention seeking behavior, being under the influence of chemicals, profiting, etc

Machines on the other hand may record what they were designed to do objectively - unless broken of course or tweaked by humans.

Unless it was/is a worldwide spontaneous conspiracy and we are all lied to about the data/ information collected from the various machines from different geographic areas in different countries; machines designed for different applications like satellites, radars, airplane transponders and other avionics the objective data driven conclusion is that the plane was flying for more than 7 hours and ended up in the midst of the Indian Ocean.

Years later it is confirmed empirically with hard evidence when they found some parts that came from the plane - where the scientists predicted they may wash ashore brought by currents

Burning planes don’t fly that long and that far (the Swissair111 couldn’t even make it to the airport 56 miles away)


The only uncertainty is again due to our human factor:we may speculate why it happened and guess by preponderance of the evidence? but we would never know - unless there is a letter hidden somewhere or his wife’s deathbed confession?
