I’ve been asked so many times for my theory on the mystery gripping the world, that I thought I’d write it down.

Someone on MH370 had a sinister plan.  We will likely never know what the plan or the objective was.

But to get started, that person (or persons) took control of the aircraft over the Gulf of Thailand.  It might have been the pilot, or the co-pilot, or someone else who had the knowledge to fly the plane.  Or perhaps a bit more likely, someone who intimidated the flight crew into doing what they wanted them to do.

It flew west, over Penang, and out over the Bay of Bengal.  Why?  Headed for where? Nobody knows.

Then, after a time, other passengers knew something was up, and just like the fourth plane on 9/11 they ran interference on the original sinister plan.  Somehow there was chaos and violence.  No-one who knew how to fly the plane ended up being able to to so, probably they were dead.

Somehow the plane was headed south and on auto pilot. It was far enough west to miss observation by Indonesia as it went south.  And with nothing the others aboard could do, dead or alive, conscious or unconscious, the plane continued on auto pilot until it ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean.

Plausible?  I think so.  Certainly more plausible than most of the theories I’ve heard.

But here’s another mystery to ponder …

Never, at any time, did I hear a suggestion that the plane might have “landed” on the water.  Nary a thought that the plane might be found: escape slides deployed and converted into rafts; all who had been on board bobbing around in their yellow life jackets with their lights on and blowing their whistles.

Why? … Because, as far as I know, it’s never happened at sea.  (Making the landing on the smooth Hudson River all the more remarkable!)

So here’s the mystery …

Why do we sit, tied in our seats, watching how to take a course of action that, “in the unlikely event of an emergency landing on water” will never transpire.  They know it is pointless.  We kinda know it will never happen.  But the ritual goes on.  Thousands of times a day around the world.

Something to ponder there???
