i thought the conclusion from all the work, was pretty obviously intentional pilot murder/suicide. there are a few damning bit of evidence. and it crashed in the south Indian Ocean.

-the pilot, despite not needing it, had the ground crew refill the pilots emergency oxygen supply
-the comms were clearly turned off, because the mode switch, which also turned the system off, went through each of the modes for a few a milliseconds, on its way to "off" indicating someone rotated the switch through each of the modes until it went to off.
-the pilot was not trained, and did not have access to, nor understood the inmarsat system, which is why it continued to ping

thats not a ton of super compelling evidence, but its certainly more plausible than most theories.



no, vibrations didnt do it either.
