MYSTERY IN THE SKY - WTF? - MH370 & MH17 & QZ8501 & More

[HairOfTheDog]

Call me crazy, but instead of terrorists and suicidal pilots could it maybe have been something simple like a malfunction with the plane?

That would have been the most likely explanation to me, too.

But, the various investigating agencies have confirmed that tracking devices were shut off, which is something only someone trained in aviation would know how to do. So, "malfunction" seemed to be scratched off the list by the experts.

I read this article earlier today, though. Some pilots (not part of the investigating team) are weighing-in with the possibility that an electrical malfunction caused a fire -- prompting the pilots to turn off all circuit breakers (per training). Makes sense to me, but I don't know if that's something the experts already explored and ruled out.
