One of the enduring puzzles of the current time is what has happened Malaysia Airlines flight MH370? To me the evidence initially clearly pointed to something going wrong the flight crew or a passenger in terms of deliberate actions stop these modern planes, in this case the Boeing 777 are meant to be so advanced that most people believe that it cannot be a mechanical problem.   That of course is reassuring in some ways - it makes you feel you are safe in aplane and it cannot blow up mid air anymore!

One has to wonder what the situation is, and where the plane is although I think that part is probably going to be easier to resolve – not in terms of finding – but in terms of its almost undoubtedly being in the Indian Ocean somewhere. The how it got there is another question and I read interesting article on Wired which suggesst that it must have been an electrical fire. The article can be read here. The writer makes the point that the left turn would have been to try and access an airport and that the actions were not to deliberately sabotahe the plane or hijack it. He believes that the plane rose to 45000 feet in a last effort by the pilots to try and quell a fire by seeking the lowest level of oxygen and that at some point thereafter, everyone lost consciousness and the plane kept on flying until it ran out of fuel and crashed into the Indian Ocean.
