A top aviation expert in Australia has claimed that Malaysia knows the “shameful truth” about where the MH370 plane landed.
Geoffrey Thomas, who has been in the aviation industry for 50 years, said that the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines is located 1200 miles west of Perth.
He says this was determined by experts who traced the final flight path of the plane, which vanished 10 years ago.
Thomas said aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey used radio waves to track the plane’s route and believes that “one more search in 2024” will reveal where the plane landed.
The pilot “was pushing down on the control column” to intentionally crash the plane in a high-speed dive so that it “broke up into as many pieces as possible,” he claimed.
The victim’s families have been “on a ghastly rollercoaster ride as ridiculous theories are floated,” Thomas said, adding that the crash was a “pilot suicide and mass murder of the worst kind because no one could escape”.
The Malaysian government previously refused to start a new search but the country’s transport minister Loke Siew Fook recently said that they might restart the search.
A US marine search company previously offered to look for the plane free of charge unless they found it.
The Malaysia Airlines flight left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on the evening of March 7, 2014, but instead of following its planned route, it turned south and then vanished.
The plane had 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board at the time and is believed to have crashed into the Indian Ocean.
Thomas claimed that the captain had been having problems with his mental health and his marriage.
He also reportedly used to rant against the Malaysian government on Facebook and send obsessive messages to a pair of twin sisters, who were models in their 20s.
The aviation expert claimed: “The pilot obviously committed suicide. He flew the same route that he had taken on his own flight simulator, going off the standard route and flying due south. (Captain Zaharie) deleted it from his simulator, but the Malaysians found it. I believe that Malaysia Airlines knew that night that the captain was responsible.”
He added: “In 50 years [as an aviation expert] I’ve covered 10 pilot suicides there’s been 13 or 14 of major aircraft, and usually you have the most monumental cover-up. I don’t think the Malaysians want to find MH370 and wish it would go away.”
