Hijacked by 'experienced pilot': New claims about MH370 disappearance

Aviation experts claim the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 may have been hijacked by an “experienced pilot” when it disappeared in 2014. In March 2014, MH370 was carrying 239 passengers, including six Australians, and vanished without a trace while on a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Aeronautics expert Jean-Luc Marchand and pilot Patrick Blelly say the search area could be covered in just 10 days using new technology. They believe the pilot intentionally depressurised the cabin and performed a controlled ditching away from the flight path to reduce debris and hinder search efforts. The two also noted the location and suddenness of the plane’s change in direction in what they described as a radar “no man’s land” outside Malaysian airspace.
