					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://askthepilot.com/mh370-new-search/#comment-411543&quot;&gt;Jonathan Johnson&lt;/a&gt;.

I&#039;ve always found this theory silly. The plane went to Pakistan? Afghanistan? WHY? For what purposes?  

Not to mention, to get there it would&#039;ve overflown other countries, and yet was never detected? And how did parts of the wing end up on beaches in the Indian Ocean?

The whole thing is nonsensical.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s an alternate theory (and basically trolling) that&#039;s not discussed much. The presumed location of MH370 is based on a series &quot;pings&quot; from engine telemetry. But, as I understand it, each of those pings could resolve to two different locations on Earth. The alternate locations lead to somewhere in the &#039;stans: Pakistan, Afghanistan, et al.

So what&#039;s the possibility that it actually went that direction? If the transponder was deactivated, it would show on radar as an unidentified craft. If a nation-state was involved, they could easily cover up its presence.

Far-fetched conspiracy theory trolling? Probably.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think the captain was the cause of Malaysia 370’s disappearance.

I’ll betcha if a really deep dive is done into his background—not the perfunctory examination that has so far occurred—some skeletons will be found rattling their ribs.  Either the guy was suicidal (in which case, a controlled landing or ditching would not have occurred—a terminal-velocity dive would be “appropriate”), or was carrying out an act of terror, in which losses to the souls-on-board and the aircraft were to be minimized.  As Captain Sullenberger demonstrated, a survivable ditching is not only possible, but can be deliberately executed by a highly-skilled pilot.

This thing smells a lot like Air India 171...and I don’t mean the odor of burning wreckage.  :(]]></description>

Those planes were PILOTED to landing. It was a glide, yes, but one that the pilots were controlling and managing. If MH370 was out of fuel, the presumption is the pilots were not conscious. In which case even a semi-stable impact would have shattered the aircraft into pieces.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I of course defer to Patrick, but I don&#039;t understand how to reconcile the comment that fuel exhaustion would have caused the 777 to plummet and break up with the planes that ran out of fuel and then glided to their destinations with safe landings in Manitoba and the Azores.  Those planes I think were a little smaller (767 and I think A320), but I wouldn&#039;t have thought that would make a difference?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I share the opinion/ analysis expressed by you and Larry Vance that MH 370 was an intentional, controlled ditching. But weren’t previous searches based on the theory of fuel starvation or other uncontrolled crash into the ocean?  If so, then the search parameters were based on a faulty theory.  Let’s hope that the search parameters this time are based on the controlled ditching theory and thus will be far more likely to be successful.  I am glad the search has resumed and hope we will find answers.  Thank you for writing about MH370.]]></description>
