Long-form from The Atlantic.


What Really Happened to Malaysia’s Missing Airplane
Five years ago, the flight vanished into the Indian Ocean. Officials on land know more about why than they dare to say.

There was a long thread on this in the Unexplained Mysteries and the Paranormal forum that was shut down. Opinions ranged from abduction by aliens to pilot suicide. Let’s see how this goes.

Yeah I remember that, I actually referenced to this article, which really is well written. It clearly implicates the captain/pilot suicide, which the government of Malaysia is trying to silence because it's a matter of national pride for their flagship carrier. I think I read that this is the general unofficial conclusion of the aviation community as well. It's really no mystery what happened to it - it clearly crashed in the south Indian Ocean. The mystery is why.

The other thread in the Unexplained Mysteries and Paranormal forum got shut down because it turned into a joke - with one guy claiming over and over that he had a "vision" of UFO's capturing it, literally the entire craft being swallowed up by aliens. Such is the nature of that particular forum that devotes most of it's time discussing bigfoot and evil spirits.

I agree with the pilot suicide.

And I wish, I very strongly wish, that people would stop making a joke of a serious thread by talking about aliens and UFOs instead of discussing the topic at hand.

The young pilot had every reason to live, the pilot who did this thing had split with his wife and had suffered from depression before. No one knows what really goes on in someone's mind, not even the people closest to that person. Unfortunately, this pilot knew what he wanted to do and he went ahead and planned it and just did it.

On the contrary however, there are some that do not think the UFO theory to the disappearance of flight MH370 is a joke. Maybe that is a scary commentary on society and its gullibility but for some it's a very serious consideration and explanation, that's why we have an entire forum dedicated to the paranormal and that type.
I don't believe it myself, but they deserve to be heard as well.

OK, but they have been heard, but they bring nothing new to the table to support their logic.

Regurgitated blah, blah, blah does no good.

Am I the only one, in this day of GPS tracking, believe that Boeing would allow a multimillion dollar aircraft off the ramp to a third world county without a tracking devise installed?

I read that article a couple of times.

It's very illuminating and probably accurate. No other theories seem to make much sense.
