I don't believe that Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 crashed in the southern Indian Ocean as is being reported. I believe that the plane was redirected from it's original course and was landed at the United States air base on the Diego Garcia Atoll. The reasons why this happened are uncertain, but it has been pointed out that a suspicious package was on the plane. Like I said, a lot of this is just putting together different stories into one narrative, and this starts with the package on board flight MH370 being traced back to the US flagged cargo ship the Maersk Alabama. Whatever was on board was removed in the Seychelles, but suspicions about the nature of the cargo arose when it was reported the two ex Navy Seals who were guarding it were later found dead:
The package itself continued it's journey from the Seychelles to Kuala Lumpur on board an Emirates flight, and then was later loaded on to MH370 to continue it's journey to China. What this item was or why it was being sent to China is unknown, but we do know that it never made it. I would accept at this point that evidence is limited to show that such cargo ever existed, but it is interesting to note that not long after the suspicious package theory became known on the internet new information was leaked to the mainstream media stating that the plane was in fact carrying a consignment of lithium ion batteries:
This story is a clever diversion, because recently the new Boeing Dreamliner aircraft has had a known issue with lithium ion batteries causing fires on board, but the difference with the Dreamliner is that it actually uses the batteries to power the plane. So here we get an explanation for what the cargo was, and the fact it's linked with previous issues with Boeing aircraft it is now sufficient evidence for cargo being described as "suspicious". This isn't the only time a not very convincing argument has been used to counter a theory though.
Rather than batteries, I would suggest the package on board was of a chemical or biological nature, and the reason it was transported to Diego Garcia was for quarantine reasons. It has been speculated that disease experts from America and China were sent to Diego Garcia in the days following the disappearance of flight MH370, but finding evidence of this is almost impossible. The original story is believed to have come from Russian intelligence, however.
Interestingly enough, on March 8th, the day the MH370 first disappeared, Diego Garcia announced there would be no flights to or from the base for 72 hours. As if they knew something was about to happen there:
If we move away from the why and look at the how instead, this is just as big a mystery. How a plane could disappear is a strange one, and it's hard to see how there hasn't been foul play at some point. But I don't think it would be possible for someone on board the plane to do this without help. It's taken either expert skill or expert technology to do this. The thing is, the official story now states that the plane definitely turned and headed to the Indian Ocean, and even if it managed to avoid Malaysian detection systems it would not be able to avoid Diego Garcia, because as a top secret American military base of course they would know everything that's going on in that part of the world. If the flight had crashed where official sources say it did, surely Australia would have known about it anyway? The only way to avoid their radar would have been to fly extremely low, but whether 239 people on board would not have questioned what was going on if they followed the flight path suggested by officials I'm not sure.
Someone on board the plane had to switch the plane's transponder system off. After this was done, I believe to get across Malaysia and into the Indian Ocean it could have done what's been dubbed the piggyback theory. It closely followed another plane so it would not be detected by radar. As MH370's transponder was turned off it would have been able to get extremely close to another plane without being detected. On the ground, they would only see one dot on radar, and would never expect MH370 was tailing the other plane as they would see one plane on radar and one plane emitting from it's transponder.
After safely crossing Malaysia and entering the Indian Ocean, the plane would then be able to continue it's journey to Diego Garcia undetected by dropping down to a sufficiently low altitude. Information that was sent from the aircraft's engines did show that it made a descent that could have been 40,000ft in just a minute. This is impossible, but maybe it did make a fairly rapid descent at this point. And even if it wasn't a quick descent, it would have had a fair bit of time to get down, for the simple reason that people would not be looking for it. It's last known location was in the other direction and it was supposed to be on an entirely different flight path. Again, why this wouldn't arouse the suspicions of those on board I can't say. What is interesting though is that this engine data that was transmitted was originally dismissed by the authorities investigating because it was deemed inaccurate, but now it is pretty much the basis for where they believe the crash site to be.
It's a well known fact that a plane can fly "under the radar" so to speak, and it has been reported that residents of a southern island of the Maldives claim to have seen the plane fly past at a low altitude at around 6:15am local time (a time that fits in perfectly with how long it would have taken the plane to get there). Not only does the time match, but also the location, with the Maldives being near Diego Garcia. The claims of sightings from Maldives residents were dismissed because the Maldives' military said they had no trace of the plane on their radar. But neither does anyone else. If the plane was flying low they could have easily missed it on radar, and being such a remote location it's not something that would likely to be being looked for. The people who saw the plane claimed they could make out the doors it was flying so low, and it's something they've not seen before so they'd struggle to make this up.
Again, limited evidence has been used to completely dismiss a valid theory. So from what we've gathered so far we can take a guess at why the flight disappeared - due to suspicious cargo that was on board. Who was behind it - the Americans and possibly the Chinese. How it got to it's destination of Diego Garcia and what methods it could have used to avoid detection. The last big question is who was on board to turn off the detection system such as the transponder? Well I would suggest that if any one on board the plane was involved in a larger plan, it was the pilot. A pilot who had trained on his home flight simulator to land a flight on Diego Garcia.
And why was this flight chosen? Well the distance the plane would have travelled to get to Diego Garcia, if you take into account how far it had already travelled when it disappeared from radar, is almost exactly the same as the original flight distance of Malaysia to China. The plane was carrying the perfect amount of fuel for the journey, and the flight time would have aroused little suspicion from passengers. What happened after the plane reached it's destination is unknown. But in my opinion, if we take the official story about what happened then the story of flight MH370 still remains unknown to the masses. But if the right people don't want us to know about the wrong thing then we will never find out. Diego Garcia itself is no stranger to hiding secrets...
Of course, if someone can make a plane disappear, they can just as easily make it reappear. I'm quite sure that in a few weeks, or maybe months, the debris from the plane will turn up. It will either be flown then slammed into the ocean in the general area of were it's supposed to of crashed, or alternatively some well selected parts will just be dumped into the ocean to be found like the jewel off the end of Titanic. The black boxes that would hold the truth to what happened will never be found though.
Anyway, I've spent too long writing this and to be honest I don't know why I'm staying up all night talking about conspiracies. I'm going to end this now as I'm worried I may end up getting hunted like Will Smith in The Enemy of the State.
