What happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370?

IN the 18 days since the plane disappeared, many theories have been put forward as to what caused Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 to crash into the Southern Indian Ocean.

Several theories have been put forward about MH370 Several theories have been put forward about MH370 [GETTY]
Did one of the pilots commit suicide?
One theory is the plane was deliberately flown off course by one of the pilots on a “suicide mission.”
An official source said because of the plane’s drastic change in course it was unlikely to have been caused by a plane malfunction or on board fire.
He said: “It just does not hinge together. [The investigators] have gone through processes you do to get the plane where it flew to for eight hours. They point to it being flown in a rational way.”
“This has been a deliberate act by someone on board who had to have had the detailed knowledge to do what was done. 
“Nothing is emerging that points to motive.”
Attention has turned to 53-year-old pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah, whose marriage to Faizah Khan, the mother of his three children, was reportedly becoming more fractured.
Was there an on board emergency?
The crew and passengers could have become incapacitated by a sudden decompression, due to a drop in altitude caused by an on board emergency.
An official close to the investigation revealed that the Boeing 777  plummeted more than 23,000ft after it changed course.
This would explain why the plane flew on for several hours before plunging into the sea when it ran out of fuel while all on board remained unconscious.
US aviation analyst Mary Schiavo said: “It explains so many pieces that didn’t fit together before. Now, if we have a scenario where something happened, the plane made a dramatic turn and dropped from 35,000ft to 12,000ft.
“This scenario would fit what a pilot would do in the event of a catastrophic on-board event, such as a rapid decompression, a fire, an explosion.
“That’s what you would have to do, descend, get down and turn around and try to get back to an airport that could accommodate an ailing plane.”
Did someone hijack the plane?
Some believe the plane was hijacked – either by a rogue crew member or one of the passengers.
American intelligence agents are urging the Malaysian authorities to look into the backgrounds of Captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah and his co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27.
One source said: “There seems to be nothing in the life of Fariq Hamid to suggest a motive for hijacking.
“The personal life of Zaharie Shah, however, is far more complex and is in the process of being unravelled.”
It has emerged was a supporter of a political opposition leader recently jailed in Malaysia.
Shah’s wife faces questioning in an investigation supported by the FBI as the search for the plane enters its third week.
Police are also examining reports that he received a two-minute phone call from a mystery woman shortly before MH370 took off, using a mobile number obtained using a false identity.
The SIM card was bought in Kuala Lumpur – despite it being a requirement in Malaysia for people to fill out a form detailing their identity card or passport number when purchasing one.

Two Iranian Asylum-seekers who bordered the plane on stolen passports have also come under scrutiny. 
Pouria Nour Mohammad Merhdad, 19, and Delavar Seyed Mohammad Erza, 29, are believed to have purchased the stolen passports in Kuala Lumpur.
CCTV footage realised of them appeared to have been doctored, so they had different upper bodies and faces but different legs.
Malaysian police admitted the video still of one man had been placed on top of the other when they were photocopied and said: "It was not done with malice or to mislead."

Could an on board fire have incapacitated the the passengers and crew?
Some have put forward the possibility that a fire broke out on board the aircraft, and those on board were overcome by smoke.

Aviation expert Chris Goodfellow believes speculation about the plane’s communication systems being turned off may have been the result of pilots reacting to an electrical fire.

He said: “For me the loss of transponders and communications makes perfect sense.

“There was most likely a fire or electrical fire. In the case of fire the first response is to pull all the main busses and restore circuits one by one until you have isolated the bad one.

He said that despite heroic attempts by the pilots to land the plane, they were most likely beaten by smoke. 
He said: “What I think happened is that they were overcome by smoke and the plane just continued on the heading, probably on George (autopilot) until either fuel exhaustion or fire destroyed the control surfaces and it crashed.

Did something happen in the cargo hold? 
There has been speculation a bomb could have been hidden in crates of mangosteens the Boeing 777 was carrying.

A source in Kuala Lumpur said it would not be difficult to “bury” some kind of explosive material inside the fruit, particularly if it was in the centre of a crate.

Once concealed, the device could then be detonated by someone on board the plane when it was in the air using a device such as a mobile phone.

Others have looked to a a cargo of lithium batteries on board the plane.

Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari had denied the aircraft was carrying any dangerous items before it emerged it had been loaded with the batteries.

He said the authorities were investigating the cargo, but did not regard the batteries as hazardous - despite the law dictating they are classed as such - because they were packaged according to safety regulations.
