I’m surprised the article claims there was nothing suspicious about the pilot. I recall that Captain Zaharie Shah had deleted data from his home pc flight simulator that showed a path flying through that same South Indian Ocean.
There was. New York magazine was the first to report this.
> New York has obtained a confidential document from the Malaysian police investigation into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 that shows that the plane's captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane vanished under uncannily similar circumstances.
I've read elsewhere that maybe the cops were finding bits of information (it was just fragment of files, they were not recovered fully) and the whole thing ("He's been planning to fly to the middle of the Indian Ocen!") is just wild speculation backed up with weak "evidence".
Anyway, it's Malaysian authorities. I've lived in the region...
But since we're not citing links, this is all gossip...
That still leaves the question of "why?". If he wanted to commit suicide he could have had an "accident" in a light aircraft instead of murdering 238 people, and the entire point of terrorism is for everyone to know it was you.
