Ten years after the MH370 aircraft disappeared, a pilot from Britain flying a Boeing 777 has made the assertion that the documents related to the flight’s departure serve as evidence that the pilot planned a deliberate act of causing the death of many and then taking their own life.
According to Simon Hardy, the flight plan and technical log submitted by Malaysian Airlines indicate that there were last-minute modifications to the cargo, including adding 3,000kg of fuel and extra oxygen. He believes that these changes suggest that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah deliberately steered the plane towards destruction.
Hardy, who worked with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau during the search in 2015, told The Sun: “It’s a strange coincidence that the last engineering task that was done before it headed off to oblivion was topping up crew oxygen which is only for the cockpit, not for the cabin crew.”
The flight modifications were deemed “peculiar” by the aviation specialist and were found to lack the necessary justification according to official standards.
According to Hardy, the flaperon discovered on Reunion Island suggests that there was a skilled pilot controlling the plane until its final moments. “If the flaps were lowered and there was still fuel present, it would require someone familiar with the controls to manipulate a lever. All evidence supports this theory.”
He concluded that the pilot must have carefully orchestrated the timing of the crash in order to ensure no evidence of fuel residue was left on the ocean’s surface, revealing the plane’s intended destination.
Similar to other theorists, he suggests that the pilot depressurized the cabin in order to render the 239 passengers unconscious, while simultaneously making a U-turn to crash the plane into the ocean.
Combined with a series of “satellite clues,” Hardy has determined the approximate location of the aircraft – beyond the designated search area along the 7th arc – in the Geelvinck Fracture Zone of the Southern Indian Ocean, a deep fissure spanning hundreds of miles.
On March 3, the Malaysian authorities declared that they will restart the search for the airplane that went missing on March 8, 2014. They have enlisted the help of Texan company Ocean Infinity, who will work on a “no find, no fee” arrangement.
