If fire was the culprit, the plane HAD TO have subsequently crashed into the sea.

So where was the debris field? Where are the thousands of pieces? Why are the ONLY parts that washed up consistent with a ditching, and why do they show evidence of the flaps having been deployed?

Doesn’t make sense.

I respect your claim that the plane may never be found. But sooner or later, someone – probably NOT the Malaysian government – will search for the plane based on the controlled ditching theory. Then I believe there is at least a fighting chance that the plane will be discovered. The controlled ditching theory is entirely consistent with murder-suicide, and I have not come across any other explanation for the disappearance of MH370 that makes sense and fits with all the facts that we know.

As Mr. Vance states, I do not know why the Captain (I believe it was the Captain) would commit murder-suicide. But not knowing the reason does not mean that the evidence should be ignored.

The pictures of the largely intact flaperon found on Reunion Island shows clear and compelling evidence that a controlled ditching occurred. There is no other credible explanation.

I hope that a search for the plane will be resumed. Again, thank you.

What’s more concerning is the pilot makes no mention of the Air France Flight 447, a flight in which it is documented that the plane went nose-down into the ocean. Human remains of the souls onboard (in pilot-speak, body parts) were found, promptly. Google.

Something’s going on when basic compare and contrast like we learn in high school or what, is ignored by the bloggers and pilots. Errors of omission are a tell.

Solved?

I hadn’t run across Vance’s book before, and while pedantic, that’s likely the nature of a neutral investigator. He does present multiple lines of relatively independent evidence that, by his interpretation, support his conclusions.

My thought as I was going through it was how useful it would be to present evidence of similar ditching events in similar aircraft (it reminded me of U.S. Airways flight 1549, thought that was an Airbus, albeit superficially similar with underwing mounted engines): seeing whether the witness markings showed a similar patter, which would support Vance’s interpretations.

As a non-expert I’d take his interpretation as being pretty plausible, deferring to his (and his team’s) expertise, and the lack of coordination between the criminal and technical investigations seems another weak point. As well, given the potentially political nature of these things, it would be interesting to see whether a less biased international team responsible for all such investigations would take some of the possible local bias out of these investigations: working in government, I’ve run across decision-based evidence-making many times, alas.

Hopefully, time will tell if the wreck is ever found, but my version of Occam prefers this narrative. Thanks again for referring me to the book.

dekuji moc za Vaš článek a Vaši verzi,která zapříčinila katastrofu letu MH 370 malajskych aerolinií.
Sleduji všechny zprávy průběžně ve všech médiích celých 10 let.
Myslím, že se nemýlite. Máte letité zkušenosti z pilotovanim těchto typů Boeingu 777 a tudíž i dobrý odhad na to, co se za letu stalo. Informace se postupně hromadily a třídily a logika těchto poznatků Vás vede jistě ke správnému závěru.
Tento týden jsem stahovala na fb.dokumentarni film o této letecké katastrofe. Natočen byl našimi odborníky v letectví právě k této události. Je to cca devadesatiminutove video a ráda bych Vám ho preposlala v příloze.
Bohužel se mne to nedaří, nevím, jak ho do Vašeho profilu vložit.
Myslím, že by Vas zaujalo. Vyjadřují se v něm piloti, kteří na těchto strojích letali několik let a také profesionální pracovníci řídících letových center.
Jejich zavery se shodují s Vašimi. Video je prostoupeno původními snímky a celková rekonstrukce nehody je částečně v angličtině. Převážně pak komunikace s řídícím střediskem a dalšími složkami.
Napište mne, jak Vám případně toto video mám zaslat.

A jinak přeji opět hodně krásných a bezpečných letu.

He had a few waypoints known to him that would turn him back around the mountainous island as he could turn due south and pick up an ILS in ,,, as little as 4 waypoints to get bk to the runway, He managed some while the FO battled a black smoke and perished quickly.. He managed a few waypoints and perished,

With little actual Boeing exp in many comments all over the place the conspiracy has been nurtured by Lalay Gov to keep them from owning the responsibility for these terrible deaths.
You dont need boogeyman when the science and factual events are all around us,
