Malaysia Airlines flight number MH370 with 239 passengers and crew members mysteriously disappeared on March 8, 2014 while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The Independent reported that famous British aviation security expert Philip Baum mentioned 5 situations that he believes are most likely to happen.
pilots commit suicide
The popular assumption is that MH370's captain Zaharie Shah locked the sub-uchaded airframe outside the cockpit, turned off the communication system with the air traffic control unit, wore an air mask, and reduced the aircraft's pressure. At altitudes higher than Everett, passengers and crew will soon die from lack of oxygen.
However, the official report said that the principal had no history of anxiety or insecurity, no significant changes in lifestyle, conflicts with people or family tensions.
Robbed by a pilot with the intention of landing, surviving and escaping
Although it is difficult to find any precedent for this hypothesis, there is a possibility that one of the pilots will land in a state of possible survival but failure, leading to a lack of oxygen, causing the passenger to quickly die.
However, it is difficult to imagine the motives behind such a bold assumption.
In addition, investigators concluded that there was no evidence that the principal and vice principal had conflicts, did not encounter financial difficulties or were at risk of bankruptcy...
The final report also noted that it is not possible to turn off the automatic deployment of air masks from the cockpit. The air masks are set up to automatically fall in case the pressure in the cabin drops seriously.
Robbed by passengers or crew members
With 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, there were many possible motives. As the historic terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 in the US showed, passing through the checkpoint does not mean that passengers do not pose any threat to the plane and those on board.
The two Iranian passengers on flight MH370 were carrying passports stolen from an Italian and an Austrian, but they appear to be illegal migrants who want to go to the West rather than nurturing any bad intentions.
All crew members were married and had children, which some said was unlikely for them to rob the plane.
remote cyber attack
In 2003, Boeing filed a patent for preventing remote aircraft robberies. According to this sang che, the uninterrupted automatic driving mode can be activated by pilots, sensors on the plane or remotely through radio or satellite linkages of airlines or government agencies if there is a compulent plan to extort control of the cockpit.
But the Boeing company confirmed it has not yet deployed the system. The investigators' reports also concluded that there was no evidence that MH370 was remotely controlled because the technology was not deployed on commercial aircraft.
Assuming the passenger is smuggled
someone may have flown in front of passengers and crew with the intention of committing a suicide mission or with the intention of landing on Christmas Island, 1,600 km northwest of Western Australia.
This is the second possibility that Philip Baum believes is likely to happen after the pilot's suicide hypothesis. Baum said that there was an area under the floor just outside the runway where one person could be hidden. This person can also disable the landing gear, causing the plane to "disappear".
But there are many arguments against such a theory. The perpetrator must have access to the plane before it departs from Kuala Lumpur.
In addition, it is difficult to give a motivation for this hypothesis. No terrorist group has made any serious statements that it has taken control of MH370 for political or propaganda purposes.
Only when the search for MH370 results can these hypotheses be verified.
