Flight MH370: Debunking the Suicide Pilot Theory
10:42 6K views Analyzed
Ashton Forbes comprehensively debunks the suicide pilot theory for MH370, which he identifies as the predominant but flawed theory. He explains the two variants: crash/ditching in the South Indian Ocean (no debris field found) and the smooth ditching theory (plane landed intact and sank without breaking up). Forbes argues both are impossible: no debris field visible from satellites, no seismic recording of impact that would register 2-3 on Richter scale, psychology of suicidal pilots (German Wings pilot crashed in under 10 minutes), inability to land 777 on ocean swells, and plane would crack from pressure releasing flotation devices. The core issue is the fraudulent Inmarsat ping data - the ACARS system conveniently 'turned back on' at 18:25 UTC after supposedly being disabled.
