MH370 experts think they’ve finally solved the mystery of the doomed Malaysia Airlines flight - Speedy - 05-15-2018
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/05/14/mh370-experts-think-theyve-finally-solved-the-mystery-of-the-doomed-malaysia-airlines-flight/
All but one of the 239 people on the doomed Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 had probably been unconscious — incapacitated by the sudden depressurization of the Boeing 777 — and had no way of knowing they were on an hours-long, meandering path to their deaths.
Along that path, a panel of aviation experts said Sunday, was a brief but telling detour near Penang, Malaysia, the home town of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
On two occasions, whoever was in control of the plane — and was probably the only one awake — tipped the craft to the left.
The experts believe Zaharie, the plane's pilot, was taking a final look.
That is the chilling theory that the team of analysts assembled by Australia's “60 Minutes” have posited about the final hours of MH370.
They suspect that the plane's 2014 disappearance and apparent crash were a suicide by the 53-year-0ld Zaharie — and a premeditated act of mass murder.
But first, the experts said, they believe that Zaharie depressurized the plane, knocking out anyone aboard who wasn't wearing an oxygen mask. That would explain the silence from the plane as it veered wildly off course: no mayday from the craft's radio, no final goodbye texts, no attempted emergency calls that failed to connect.
That would also explain how whoever was in control had time to maneuver the plane to its final location.

The wreckage has not been found, though hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into the four-year search. The secret of what happened in the final moments of the ill-fated flight — and the motive behind it all — probably died with its passengers and pilot.
But the “60 Minutes” team — which included aviation specialists, the former Australian Transport Safety Bureau chief in charge of investigating MH370's crash and an oceanographer — put forth what they believe is the most likely theory.
“The thing that gets discussed the most is that at the point where the pilot turned the transponder off, that he depressurized the airplane, which would disable the passengers,” said Larry Vance, a veteran aircraft investigator from Canada. “He was killing himself. Unfortunately, he was killing everyone else onboard. And he did it deliberately.”
Zaharie's suspected suicide might explain an oddity about the plane's final flight path: that unexpected turn to the left.
“Captain Zaharie dipped his wing to see Penang, his home town,” Simon Hardy, a Boeing 777 senior pilot and instructor, said on “60 Minutes.”
“If you look very carefully, you can see it's actually a turn to the left, and then start a long turn to the right. And then [he does] another left turn. So I spent a long time thinking about what this could be, what technical reason is there for this, and, after two months, three months thinking about this, I finally got the answer: Someone was looking out the window.”
“It might be a long, emotional goodbye,” Hardy added. “Or a short, emotional goodbye to his home town.”

Wait, there's a button to depressurize the cabin?

I saw lots of news about this in the past few days with headlines that look like click bait. I'm not seeing any shocking new developments, this is all speculation, and it's exactly the same speculation that was being discussed shortly after the disappearance.
The only thing that seems to be new is that it was broadcast on the Australian 60 Minutes.
If they found the flight recorders and recovered data from them, that would be real news.
The end result of this show is that still nothing is solved. It seems like more motivation to continue searching, and timed to coincide with the current search effort ending.

On board the Malaysia Airline MH370 were 4 co-owners of a very important semiconductor patent and do you know who inherited the rights to this patent after the mysterious disappearance of the plane? Who else if not infamous billionaire Jacob Rothschild, who’s now become the sole owner of this patent.
The key to resolving this mystery may be in these 4 seemingly unimportant passengers. And their report stormed across a number of other European-based media outlets, causing a great stir. We can’t help but wonder if Rothschild exploited the airlines to inherit the full Patent Rights of an incredible KL-03 micro-chip? As the reports say, Jacob Rothschild is looking like the “evil master plotter“.
It turns out that a US technology company had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar systems just before the Boeing 777 went missing and 20 senior staff members were on board the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
The company, Freescale Semiconductor, is working on microprocessors, sensors and other technology over the last 5 decades and their technology is usually referred to as embedded processors. They say that these are actually “stand-alone semiconductors that perform dedicated computing functions in electronic systems“.

Here's the patent, it's not owned by those individual, it's assigned to their employer Freescale Semiconductor (which years ago was Motorola), that's common practice for inventions that result from the work they were doing as part of their job. I am listed as an inventor on several patents, I don't get a cent, they are all assigned to my employer at the time, and they don't patent them to sell the patent, they do it to protect their product that uses the invention.
"Assignee: Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. (Austin, TX)"

The default state of the aircraft interior at altitude is depressurized. The pilot must actively pressurized the plane - it stands to reason he is also able to unpressurize the plane.

Seems like if they don't have any other explanation, it must be a suicide by the pilot/co-pilot. That may be true, and sad, that they would want to take so many innocents down with them, but where is the proof, where is even the reasonable evidence of such a mindset?

Until they found the wreckage and flight recorders for Air France 447, nobody was expecting to hear this at the end of the tape.
"Climb climb climb climb" to which Bonin replied "But I’ve been at maximum nose-up for a while!" At that point captain Dubois realized that Bonin was causing the stall. He shouted: "No no no don’t climb!" But it was too late the aircraft was now too low to recover from the stall. Soon the Ground proximity warning system activated and sounded an alarm warning the crew about the aircraft's now imminent crash with the ocean. Bonin, realizing the situation was now hopeless, said: "Fuck! Were going to crash! This can't be true. But what's happening?!"

MH 370 is just lots of guessing, just like AF 447 was until they had real data to work with and could determine what the crew was doing at the time.

Wouldn't the oxygen masks come down if the plane were suddenly depressurized? Or could the pilot disable those, too? If the masks deployed, then surely a few passengers would have been able to don them before passing out.
And what about the rest of the crew? The pilot could not have depressurized the flight deck without first donning a mask himself. . .
