This video presents a version of the most likely scenario which took place on board MH370. It is not definitive, and experts who agree with the main thrust of this video, will disagree on specifics. I have made a sincere effort to stick to the facts where they are available. Where they are not, I have restricted myself to informed and reasonable speculation. As stated in the video, this starts at 9:55. I welcome any discussion in the comments.

How could a massive aircraft filled with 239 people simply vanish from the face of the Earth?
It might seem impossible in the modern era, but this is exactly what happened Malaysia Airlines flight 370 on March 8th, 2014.
There are countless theories which try to explain the mysterious disappearance - everything from a remote control hijacking, to exploding fruit in the cargo bay, have been suggested.
But what if the truth is even more disturbing?
What if somebody on board Flight 370 was responsible?
This is the chilling story of Malaysia Airlines flight 370, and it’s a story that might finally help us find the missing plane.

This video would not have been possible without the expertise and generosity of the following people:
Simon Hardy, for sharing his knowledge as a 777 Captain, and for his technique for plotting a plausible path for MH370 over the Southern Indian Ocean. If you want to read a fictionalised account of Captain Simon Hardy’s own experiences in the aftermath of the disappearance, you can do so in the book ‘The Missing Plane’ by Captain Verne Pugiev: www.amazon.co.uk/Missing-Plan...
Larry Vance, for taking the time to speak with me during my research for this video. I have not come to the same conclusion as Larry regarding the final minutes of the flight, but his book is well-argued and has been instructive nonetheless: www.amazon.co.uk/MH370-Myster...
I will be releasing my full interview with Larry on Patreon in the coming days.
Thomas Joiner, for his Psychological expertise and insight into the mentality of those who commit acts such as this. Thomas has spent his career delving into the darker parts of the human psyche both as an academic researcher and a clinician, and the insights he shared in our interview were extremely helpful in my writing the script for this video.
My interview with Thomas will be on Patreon in the coming days.
Hans Bos, for his invaluable insight into normal and abnormal airline operations. Without him, the story presented would have been far less informed.
Victor Iannello of the Independent Group, for sharing with me his considerable expertise on the matter. See Victor’s blog here for some excellent technical discussion about MH370: mh370.radiantphysics.com/
There are many people with whom I have not interacted directly, yet without whose work, this documentary would not have been possible. I, and anybody who is interested in finding this aircraft, owe them a debt of gratitude for their work in furthering the search efforts. Ian Holland, Richard Godfrey, Duncan Steel, and Blaine Gibson, are some of these names, but the list is much longer.

To clear up some confusion I'm seeing in the comments section, here is the evidence supporting the theory in this video (see sources in the video description):
- The flight disappeared from radar at the exact moment that it passed IGARI, the Transfer-of-Control point (TCP) between Malaysia and HCM ATC. This timing is an extraordinary coincidence if what happened was an accident, as it was one of only a few moments during the entire flight during which nobody on the ground was watching it.
- The ADS-B data from a Malaysian ATC radar at Terengganu shows two datapoints for MH370 where there was position information being sent from that plane's transponder, but no altitude information. This is consistent with the transponder being manually turned off, with the switch passing through the 'ALT OFF' position.
- The aircraft did not descend towards an alternate airport at any stage.
- The plane turned multiple times in the hour since the emergency began. This is entirely inconsistent with an incapacitated crew scenario.
- The First Officer's phone registered with a cell tower on Penang at 0152 MYT. It is unlikely that his phone was on, or at least, not on flight mode while the plane was on the ground, given that this was a very important training flight for him. This suggests he turned on his phone at some point during the flight.
- Despite the extreme nature of any failure sequence required to incapacitate the crew, and disable all of the highly-redundant communications systems (ACARS, SATCOM, VHF radios), the aircraft remained aloft for over 6 hours after first disappearing from radar.
- The SDU came back online at 0225 MYT after being off since IGARI. There are few, if any failure scenarios in which this would happen.
- The captain's home computer had a flight simulator route dating from the month before the disappearance, which involved a Boeing 777 flying from the strait of Malacca to the middle of the SIO, where it experienced fuel exhaustion.
- Despite having 10 years to come up with a plausible accident scenario, nobody has proffered one. The 'intentional diversion' scenario described in this video, was proposed mere days after the plane's disappearance, and no evidence which has emerged since, has lessened its likelihood. In fact, the evidence for this scenario has only gotten stronger in this time.
The logical conclusion to draw from the above, is that the Captain of this flight orchestrated its disappearance. Here is some informed supposition, based on the above evidence:
- The First Officer was asked to leave the cockpit at some point before the plane reached IGARI, and he was then locked out.
- The captain depressurised the aircraft to prevent the passengers and crew from revolting
- The captain turned off the plane's external lights to prevent sightings of the aircraft (this is an obvious logical step if you accept that he turned off the transponder)
- The First Officer tried to regain entry
- The First officer used a portable oxygen bottle in order to stay conscious while attempting to re-gain entry
- The First Officer kept his phone in his pocket, turned it on after he couldn't gain entry to the cockpit, and tried to make a call
- The captain listened out on ATC frequencies to see whether authorities were aware of what was happening the flight.
- Once he was sure everybody on board was incapacitated, the captain repressurised the plane and turned back on the SATCOM (as indicated by the SDU logon at 0225 MYT)
- The Captain depressurised the plane once he knew he was no longer needed in the cockpit.
I hope this clears up some of the confusion in the comments.
Yo I watched the show and this video is so good, fantastic job GreenDotAviation!
The fact that the aircraft was 9M-MRO and it’s made in 2002
Who asked for the pilots' oxygen cylinders to be refilled? Who knew that the software did not indicate the position transmitted by the aircraft, but an extrapolated position? This guy had 18,000 flying hours! Why would he do this? I've watched the video several times this week. Incredible work!
@@SouthernAvia I don't get it. Why is this important?
@@dolandump ik but the plane crash was a mass murder suicide plot
When a TH-camr with a flight sim is making better videos than "proper" TV producers, something's gone wrong with the latter.
Agreed, it's not about content standard anymore for high flying(accidental pun) executive producers and well established TV companies, it's only about the money where service and even truth sometimes are irrelevant to them. This channel clearly has a sense of accuracy with the detailed investigative nature and isn't financially or narratively driven in my opinion.
this is better than that 'show' on netflix right?
Agreed, but it also shows how dedicated the former is as well
Yeah that “documentary” totally wasn’t biased at all
TV producers have to create content that appeals to a broad audience, including those who may not have any interest in aviation or are not familiar with the MH370 case. This channel's style is more focused on niche aviation audiences, allowing for a more detailed and granular analysis compared to what might be found on TV or Netflix.

Here we are exactly 10 years later
wow that's like so deep man
My dad was hospitalized in Jakarta 10 years ago, I was still 10 and woke up at 7AM as I had to visit my dad that morning. I watched the news that a Malaysian Airline flight was declared missing.
10 years later I find out that the plane was probably still flying when I watched the news. I'll never forget that day
So is the 777 @@T.E.S.S.
10 years later and these poor families still have no answers for what happened to their loved ones. I can't even imagine....
I flew from kuala lampur to Incheon Korea (almost the exact same flight path) on that exact day 10 years later. It felt quite eerie.
I cannot imagine the desperation of the 1st officer...must be devastating!
This is absolutely horrifying. He did everything that he could've, rest in peace
Ahhh this is speculation
@Skabanis it is speculation, but what isn't speculation is that something horrifying did happen to him
bruh why are people so easy to believe this made up scenario, for all we know he couldve been the hijacker.
@@bebekdragon7604 Cause with your logic it might as well be green people from Mars. Fact remains this scenario is by FAR most plausible. In contrast to any unlikely hijacker captain was in actual position to do so without much effort. DUH, Flight 9525 which happened few years later showcases how easily such thing could happen with unhinged pilot. Hijacker theory completely ignores how tougher getting into cockpit is in post 9/11 world. It also utterly ignores perfect timing when plane went AWOL. How the hell hijacker would know to take control at this specific moment? Hijacker theory plain and simply doesn't work for way too many factors.
this story is one that never fails to disturb me no matter how many times i hear it.. just the imagery of the pilot flying the plane knowing he has over 200 people dead behind him is so eerie
well we dont know if thats true. So they could have all died together at the same time. or... are still alive.
@@rickjames5998 im aware but the possibility of that being the case is still haunting also i think the likelihood that they hadnt crashed into the ocean is non existent lol since they found some of the parts theyre def all dead
@@rickjames5998the passengers are dead before it crash to the ocean, watch Mentour Pilot documentary
@@rickjames5998It is true, stop being like Netflix
Sisk minds do sick things.
The fact that we had, for some hours, a literal flying morgue over the desolate pacific with no pilot is the eeriest thing ever
If that were true then yeah.. however, it’s just another theory, there’s no proof he did it.. a majority of the things this TH-camr says that point to the pilot doing it are just made up. Like the pilot telling the FO to get him coffee and the FO trying to open the cockpit door, where the hell is the evidence for this? This TH-camr is taking everyone here for a ride, acting like he seen what went on inside the plane lol. This is nothing more than a bedtime story. I will give him this this tho, makes good for creative writing.
@@famo7503fr i watched all the video thinking there were new proof released and everything, or he would show a font but bro, he made almost everything up and it’s just another theory, like…
That horrific Helios “ghost flight” where everyone was unconscious but one flight attendant, and fighter jets trying to escort it could see him struggling in the cockpit through the windows really messed me up. He was a hero - he was no pilot, but alone and knowing he couldn’t land the plane, that it was going to inevitably crash, the plane away from crashing into the Athens area and it crashed in a field.
@@famo7503so, id love to know how it ended up over the Pacific Ocean, in your opinion then. What sort of “error” makes a plane turn 180 degrees, skirt all along the national air territories, and then fly away from any land mass. Let’s hear it, genius. Give me occams razor….
All this without even mentioning that they found the EXACT PATH on zaharie’s flight simulator. So much “coincidence”, huh
The coffee idea is a theory based on fact though. The chance it wasn't a murder suicide is just so microscopic. The pilot flew the flight in a simulator prepping for it, he filled the oxygen tank that same day, he did the flyby of his hometown. All of the evidence points towards it being a murder suicide. @@famo7503
My friend’s dad was onboard. In the end, he’s never coming back to his family, not in this life, as is everyone else onboard this plane, no matter whether we end up finding the wreckage or not. I really feel for her mum, she has said many, many times that even a tiny fragment of bone would be enough for her to lay him to rest. She may never get her wish and it is very hard to see her struggle with such an ambiguous loss like this.
💜
So very sorry.
That’s sad. To not have any closure is hard when it’s a loved one,
He is at rest. What is buried in the ground is not where a loved one rests. The energy and spirit leaves the body and what's left behind is an empty shell, the vehicle in which we travel around when we are alive. When we pass on we can still be around those we love because our spirit lives on. I wish the mum could find peace in knowing that her loved one is with her, standing by her every day. The suffering of those who have passed does not continue each day like it does for family and friends left behind. There's no such thing as closure. we must allow ourselves to mourn the loss of a loved one each day as it comes upon them but it must be put into a box and set aside to mourn again the following day. It cannot be your whole life for the remainder of your life. It is a process and being able to set aside those sad feelings after allowing youreself to mourn for a period of time each day will help you to reach a point where you are living and your loved one would not want you to stop living. God bless the friends and relatives who lost someone on that flight.

Well, considering we don’t know what happened.. what a sick world we live in.
@@moemonte88the plane hit water hard. Based of the debris, The captain is obviously at fault for this incident
@@molester4672 ok
Bad people are as old as humanity, not new
@@moemonte88we don’t know what happened but I bet you there are people high up in the Malaysian government who know exactly what happened.
The amount of fail safes, redundancies and standard protocols that had to be manually overridden makes it irrefutable. The captain is a murderer.
People are scared of flying all the time and while we don’t really know the exact cause of this accident it still highlights how many backup systems there are on board to ensure everyone’s safety even when something goes terribly wrong. After all the aviation transportation is the safest way of transportation out there and it is constantly improving and improving leading to even less and less accidents. While I am not a real pilot I am a pilot who flies in a flight simulator at home using highly realistic and accurate aircraft models and even I can tell you that the redundancy of aircraft systems is just insane.
@@Nameisnotimportant True. I have X-Plane 12 and just disabling basic things is almost impossible
@@pablorubio8287 I fly in X-Plane 11 and I actually can confirm this. Unless you literally intentionally make a wing disappear by going to a failures menu it’s actually possible to safely land even with very screwed up airplane often times without even a lot of issues but that’s of course only if you know that airplane well and you have a proper knowledge and experience flying it.
@@Nameisnotimportant Hard to accidentally crash a plane. Shame some people don't realise it, right?
@@pablorubio8287 Yeah I mean…so many people are just scared of air travel especially when they hear about all of these accidents. And some of them are scared to an extent where if you were to pull out the numbers of how many people died around the world as a result of car crashes vs plane crashes in 2023 those people would still doubt the safety of air travel. Pilots nowadays are really well trained to deal with challenging emergency situations which most non aviation enthusiast people often can’t even imagine happening and as we both mentioned earlier the planes themselves are designed in such a way that they just simply don’t fall out of the sky that easily. And usually when an accident happens it’s not caused by like one single fault or one single human error. Usually it’s caused by many more things (for example multiple pilot errors combined with whole bunch of different factors that further worsen the situation). Whenever I travel as a passenger on board of a real aircraft I always fully trust all of the cabin crew members including pilots as I know that nowadays they have to be very well trained to be able to meet the necessary requirements. I understand that in 1970s or 1980s the safety standards were nowhere near where they were in 1990s and absolutely nowhere near to being even close to what they’re now. But we are in 2024 and not only the air travel is statistically the safest it’s ever been but it keeps constantly improving even further.
Well done with this video! it’s actually extremely well told and makes the whole story a lot more disturbing. Ironically, so much better than the Netflix show with tons of money behind it.
It is very very well done. I think a lot of us are sick and tired of the redherrings and strawman arguments, conspiracy theories etc. As this video shows literally everything that occurred is completely consistent with pilot intentionally killing everyone. Everything we know about the flight path, and technical aspects points to this conclusion and all other alternate theories have some major problems that are just ignored when people proffer those alternate theories. The fact that none of us *want* it to be a mass murder by the pilot doesn't change the fact that this is what it was. Netflix ought to be ashamed or its shoddy and pandering "documentary" and I am grateful for this extremely sober alternative
Sky News Australia did a documentary about a year ago, with the same basic theory and interviewing multiple experts.

Here from Mentour Pilots video on MH370! Happy that so many viewers recommended this video!❤
Same here.
Same. It's the opposite side of Mentor Pilot's analysis. He gave the pure facts so it's clear what the evidence actually confirms. While this channel gives a story that's impossible to confirm, but helps us wrap our heads around a story that makes sense and offers closure.
The biggest difference that I saw was Mentour Pilot said there was some evidence (don't remember how strong it was) that the plane may have done some piloted figure 8's before crashing. That would indicate that who ever was flying the aircraft probably was alive all the way up til impact with the ocean.
i wish green dot aviation and mentour pilot had equal subscribers(green dot aviation only has over 300 K subs compared to mentour who was 2M🙄🙄
It was the WSPR track@@Valpo2004
Absolutely fascinating. Very well done. I feel especially sad for Fariq. Unlike all the rest on board, he experienced sheer terror because he realized what was really going on.
That's absolutly crazy. The way that the plane was still flying with everyone dead aboard just gives me chills.
We don't know that this actually happened. This is strictly a hypothesis at this point.
its not unprecedented. It happened with the Helios flight. Everyone was unconscious except for a flight steward who donned an oxygen cylinder,
@westnblu Oh absolutely! And I'm not saying that it's not. This could be absolutely what happened! But if you read through the comments, there are a lot of people assuming this is exactly what happened and it's already been proven. There is still the possibility that this is not what happened at all. I guess what I'm saying is, you. We probably should always remain open-minded, if a theory hasn't been proven true without a shadow of a doubt. I agree this is by far though, the only explanation that makes sense.
@@jeffhudson9130 cant wait for other explanatory theory that makes sense
@@LAHKACAUAWK I'm hoping for concrete proof and then the official story lol
As a professional airline pilot for over 30 years, I agree with your scenario. The real clues lie in the details of the Captains personal life
They found nothing it is said in comments.
@@EMEL-hr4ut Not true. He and his wife were in the middle of a separation and he was connected to a Malaysian politician who was recently disgraced (or part of a smear campaign by the ruling party, depending on the source.)
@@EMEL-hr4utThat video of him simulating a plane crash is enough.
@kevinc.1729 those same matters taken by you as 'fact' could be motive to act for money and he didn't kill himself and the alleged trajectory in this video is wrong.

@mountainrock7682 who found this 'evidence' and analysed it ? You presume he left such evidence behind although the whole basis of this video was thst his motive was to dissappear without trace.
I think the fact the pilot had the same route on his flight simulator pretty much solidifies he was responsible
He didn't though.
@@purplestrawberrysunsethe did
How can those of us who watched this video verify either way if the captain had done what the video says he did ? Anybody out there know ???
@@arielporte4149essentially because every other theory about what happened to MH370 has serious flaws in them. This is the only theory that doesn’t have any flaws.
@@purplestrawberrysunset The simulated flight described was reported, but almost immediately debunked by the Malaysian investigators. According to them, the only information saved was some waypoints - some of which coincided very loosly with the projected flight. But that was not enough to conclude that any simulated flights of the one described in the documentary took place.
58:40, They should investigate the first officers who was with Zahari on Feb 21st flight. I'm guessing, he tried to distract the first officer, but he couldn't able to persuade first office to leave the cabin. Or something like this might happened.
Investigators should definitely talk to first officers on Feb 21st flight.
Intriguing possibility there
Yeah, no harm being thorough.
There was 2 sets of crews on the flight MH150 that day it left for Jeddah not Beijing, Zahari purchased his internal hardrive on Dec 21st, 2023 and had this simiulation deleted on February 2nd, 2024 a couple weeks before the flight to Jeddah, Zahari and his First Officer only flew half way to Jeddah and half way back, they were experienced pilots on both sectors of this flight who would not have left the cockpit, MH370 First Officer may have in all probality left the cabin and tried to use his cell phone to alert ATC that he was locked out of the cabin during this madness by Capt Zahari before the plane was pressurized killing all occupants on board.
@@TheeMcMas interesting
Yes, they should definitely question the first officer on that flight
As a commercial airline pilot, I found this video incredibly well done and exceptionally realistic. Further, while very disappointing is the supposition that the captain would do this, it does seem at this point, the most plausible theory I've heard; this is the modern day equivelant of an Amelia Earhart mystery. Thank you for your efforts making this. May peace be on the families and loved ones of those lost in MH370.
What about the policy. There have to be 2 staff members in the cockpit at all times. When in flight ???
@@dlynn4188great question. Many airlines have that policy. Did MH have that policy at that time? I don’t know. Some airlines do not. German wings didn’t have it when the FO locked the CA out of the flight deck and crashed the plane into the mountains in continental Europe. That would require further investigation.
@@samadiddle i'm pretty sure that a female flight attendant wouldn't be a problem to handle for an average male, he could've just KOd her.. btw, m370 disappeared in 2014, germanwings incident happened in 2015.. i always thought that the policy was introduced in 2015 for the first time ever.. hmm
A@@jwst8 Without doubt its a fantastic documentary. But without the FDR how has the maker managed to get a lot of the data out with respect to what pilot did in the cockpit??
I get that you wouldn't want the assume the worst of a fellow pilot, but they did literally find his premeditated mass murder route on his flight simulator in his home...
As someone who traveled deep into the Indian Ocean on a military flight, the idea of a “ghost plane” with no living humans onboard gliding ever deeper into that immense body of water is one of the eeriest images I’ve ever held in my mind.

Can't believe I watched this for free yet have to pay Netflix to what their pathetic documentary.
This blows the netflix documentary completely out of the water. I listened to an interview with the director of that special, and she basically said she eliminated the captain as a suspect because of people she talked to who knew him. Apparently he was a nice guy. And that's it. Just like that, she had a conclusion that she worked backwards from to support. Completely opposite from how the scientific method is supposed to work. As a scientist myself, it was so frustrating.
Empathy has clouded her judgement
Gacy was considered a nice guy. Nobody knows anybody...... evidence.
these days, that is how all science works. They start with the conclusion they want, and then look for whatever evidence would support that and ignore any that undermines it. And if they can't find any, they create it.
I haven't seen the Netflix documentary, but I believe this. Netflix and most TV is directed towards the general public, on youtube you find more detailed and more technical documentaries, they're directed for maybe a more technical crowd. I used to watch the "Mayday" TV series, and almost all crash documentaries I've seen on youtube far surpass the TV series in regards to technical details, what went wrong, etc. Even if maybe they are a bit on the too low side of budget, they're still good, while "Mayday" had dramatic reenactments, you could see the passengers panicking, stepping on one another or punching the kid next to them or their wives, to steal their oxygen mask etc. It was interesting, although I prefer the low budget youtube MSFS reenactments - less drama.
I’m not disagreeing with you but if the captain did hijack the aircraft (which I think he did), what was his motive then? Why would someone with a distinguished flying career throw it all away?
But that netflix documentary was a bunch of bs. The only good thing that came from it was it had interviews of the victims’ families and shared their stories/perspectives.
This was, without question, the best MH370 doc I’ve ever seen. You knocked it out of the park.
Thank you!

@@DeepLakeRCtbh lemminos vid seems void of information compared to this.
Apologies to those who were fascinated with this video. This is one of the most baseless doc on MH370 ever produced. Blurring the boundary between facts and fiction. How in the world, this guy knows the specific details of what the Captain told his first captain when the plane's black box has never been found. Sweater and coffee, making holes in the plane, utter nonsense!!
It is obvious that only intentional and pre-planned acts of the pilot can explain the flightpath and disappearance of the plane. Netflix simply juiced up alternative theories and (mostly) fringe voices in order to create controversy and draw viewers which is despicable.
Hey now, explosive fruit is a VERY likely culprit. 😅

I have watched this 3 times now and I just can't get over how good it is. My heart goes out to the First Officer. He was likely the only one on board who had the horror of knowing he was going to die and there was nothing he could do about it. I cannot imagine the panic and terror. May his soul, and all the others, rest in peace.
Yes, so true and I wonder if the captain ever had a moment of regret after there was no going back?
interesting fact, the germanwings crash where the pilot got locked out happened just 1 year earlier. maybe zaharia got his inspiration from there.
you have no idea, i was in a free fall 2 years ago and its changed my life... being so close to death the way i experianced ripped everyhting i thought life was about out and chnaged me forever... we free fell for 10 mins... those 10 mins will last me my lifetime.... it was like a rollercoaster feeling but 50 million times stronger along with ever negative emotion you could imagine .... nerves on fire, crying and choking on your own tears... suddenly the stranger next to you becomes your family
There may have been one or two things the 1st Officer could have done in this scenario. There were multiple portable oxygen systems in the passenger compartment, so he may have been able to get them set up and play possum (give the impression he had died) and look for an opportunity. Anther thing he could have done was open 1 ore more emergency exit doors. That would not have changed his outcome, but it would have put a big monkey-wrench in the captain's plans and caused the plane to end up in an easier place to locate.
It is just a theory...nobody knows what actually has happened
Green Dot and Mentour Pilot channels both provided drama and analytics not used in the Netflix series, together they showed what most likely happened to MA370. Using Occam’s theory of course.
Your video has had a massive impact on this topic globally and might even lead to this plane to be found. I salute your work, storytelling and simply your clear observation and deduction. Amazing!
Thank you! The people who really did all the hard work are mentioned in the video description. I hope at least one of the two proposes searches for this year goes ahead.
neckbeard utubers cant get shit done.
@@GreenDotAviation hope you reach 2M subscribers before July of this year
Except the ending is inaccurate. They found the back flap of the wing. The back of the that flap was damaged, as if it skidded across water. The pilot descended slowly in the water, trying to keep plane intact. That's why they barely found any debree. Thankfully that wing broke off. But yeah the ending here is wrong. If the plane crashed as he says, there would have been alot more found AND the wing they found wouldn't even exist
@@rich4ever223 the plane crash landed while gliding on autopilot and auxiliary power, the request for satellite connection around the time the fuel was supposed to run out confirms this theory. So speculation on how the boeing 777 touched the water is a bit too far fetched
One of my rugbymate was on the plane with his gf, his sister and his mother. I remember to this day following every step of the way the story and all the confusion around it. It was heartbreaking.
How tragic. That really sucks. I'm so sorry for you and every single soul affected by this.
Sorry to hear.
@@weaverdreams You're apparently privy to some new conclusive information that none of the rest of us has seen, as you can unequivocally state exactly what happened even without being on the plane! What's the scoop?
Another victim to Muslim violence. God bless America and Israel.
I’m sorry for your loss.
I have no words to describe how incredible, complete, succinct, well produced and eerie this is.
I've watched every video about the topic (and every video of yours), and read through the "final report", and I study engineering, so I thought I knew almost every hard fact and reasonable logical inference.
Also, I was initially skeptical about this video, because I feared it may dive into weird conspiracies or baseless theroies. Also, since no definitive final report exists, one could say "this is just speculation".
But the way you presented the topic, the clear assumptions you made, keeping very clear the "factual story" vs the "scenario" you explored, the animations, the integration between ATC, cockpit, instruments, cabin, aircraft systems, maps, timelines, outside shots, and very well blended airport footage.
This should not be on TH-cam, this should be in freaking Cinemas.
I didn't know the Capitan deleted the simulator from his computer's drive, I feel like this fact isn't widely known, or given the importance it deserves. Same with the oxygen tanks, and with radio waves being shifted out due to the plane vertical speed. Also, I didn't picture the final moments, and the idea of a plane cruising by itself with the Capitan unconscious, it's really eerie. A sophisticated piece of metal flying by itself, exhausting fuel, on a trajectory ending in the middle of one of the most isolated and alienated areas in the planet, disintegrating on impact and pieces spreading over half of the surface of the ocean.
Thank you for this incredible narration, the clear assumptions, the precise walk through and not focusing on the reasons the pilot did this; that's your masterpiece.
Hope we'll get something close to this level for AF447 :D
We all owe you a drink
Thanks so much for the detailed comment and feedback. I'm delighted that you got what I was aiming at in this video.
The facts that you mentioned - the O2 tanks being filled up, the flight sim being deleted, and the radio waves showing a descent in the final minutes - all of this is evidence which has been well known to those who are familiar with the case for years, but not to the general public. I thought this was a shame, as it has lead to the proliferation of bizarre conspiracy theories (like the alien stuff which is currently having a moment online).
If this video can go some way towards showing a broader range of the known facts to people, then it will have achieved its aim.
As for AF447, that video will come in time! And it will be another big project.
Edit:
Some viewers are confused about which information presented in this scenario is speculation, and which is factual. TH-cam tells me that the video description is too long, so I cannot add this clarification there. I will do so in this comment instead. Here is a list below:
Speculation:
- That the captain asked the FO to leave the cockpit
- The behaviour of the FO - that he used a portable O2 bottle, used his phone, tried to gain entry into the cockpit.
- That the plane was depressurised
- That the external lights were turned off
- That the SDU log-on at 02:25 MYT was a result of the captain powering up the L and R main electrical buses, and that this was done in order to stop the equipment bay from overheating.
- That the captain was dead as the plane flew south over the Southern Indian Ocean
- That the plane was not glided onto the surface of the ocean, but entered an uncontrolled spiral dive, leading to a high-speed impact with the water.
Facts (see video description for sources):
- For two data points (over a split second), the transponder of MH370 sent position information, but no altitude information. This indicates that somebody in the cockpit rotated the switch through the 'Alt off' position.
- MH370 disappeared from secondary radar
- Almost immediately after disappearing from secondary radar, the plane turned left, to head south west over the Malaysian peninsula (as seen on Primary radar)
- The First Officer's cell phone connected with a cell tower on Penang at 01:52am MYT. It is still not known whether any passengers' phones connected to the cell tower, or even, whether this was investigated.
- The plane made a turn at Penang, to head up the Strait of Malacca
- The SDU powered back on at 02:25 MYT while the plane was flying up the strait of Malacca
- The plane turned south over the Indian Ocean some time after 02:30 MYT
- The Captain had simulated a flight into the Southern Indian Ocean on his home flight simulator on February 3rd that year, ending in fuel exhaustion.
- The captain deleted his home flight simulator from his PC on Feb 20th, the day before he operated MH370 to Beijing.
- The crew O2 tanks on 9M-MRO had been topped up to 1800psi in the hours before the flight.
- INMARSAT engineers used the BTO data from the plane's SDU to determine the plane's distance to the satellite, creating 7 rings. They also used the BFO data to determine the plane's vertical speed in what were likely the flight's final moments.
I will add to this list as more questions come.
This is infinitely superior than the Netflix documentary.
Mentour Pilot covered AF477 - the Titanic of the skies. You should check that out.
The main difference with AF447 is that the airplane and the flight recorders have been found and that there is a final report and no mystery. It has been very well covered by Mentour pilot indeed, based on the final report and his experience as an airline captain.
@@GreenDotAviationit definitely achieved its aim , well done.
It's amazing how many people will deny the only real theory because they can't imagine a motive.
Yes...amazing...
It's amazing how many people will claim their preferred narrative as "the only real theory" without any actual hard evidence to back it up.
Some comments here will blow your mind by how uninformed, but creative they are.
Actually no theory seems to be without flaws, people just choose whatever they want to believe in. The only reason people seem to prefer the suicide theory is because they don't want to believe that technology far superior to what we know about exists.
@@nunoalvarespereira87 The videos showing those stupid orbs etc. are cgi, which has been debunked years ago. One of them uses stock footage that has been around since the 90s. People who believe those theories, do so thanks to the story bias. It's a more soothing theory to believe, that it's the fault of the baddies up there, instead of something coincidental, which could happened to anyone. This is also influenced by the proportionality bias. Also, everything in this video is well explained, the planes' path was deliberately chosen between radar stations and the pilot deleted his flight sim, even though it's an expensive setup and basically his life. This is as close to an admission of guilt as you can get.
I have always assumed the simplest explanation is the correct one especially with the amount of systems that had to be turned off. Only two people on board would have that much knowledge, and really only one.
This is your magnum opus. All your videos have led to this. Well done. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I’m just left wondering why
His other videos were not 75% speculation.
@@tarnvedra9952they never even found the wreckage of this plane and we have no idea what happened after the first deviation from the planned route, we really can’t do anything but speculate after that. I lived in Malaysia until the search operation was called off and the general assumption was that all things considered the captain deliberately crashed the plane - we just can never know for sure
@@vegasoverheaven but this "theory" i wouldnt even call it theory, everthing he listed up in this video makes sense, and everything gives hints that the captain did it, a really big hint would be who gave the maintance guy the task to Fill the Cockpit oxygen bottle up on THE SAME DAY, why did nobody ask this guy this big question, there are so many questions left open .... edit: and He simulated this exact scenario in Flight Simulator, like how long he could glide from the point where he would ran out of fuel, i mean this is a dead giveaway that he is 100% responsible
@@dominikdorn159Checking the crew oxygen bottle pressure would be part of the Daily Check carried out on the aircraft. The engineer responsible wouldn't need to be told by anyone to fill up the bottles. It's part of the check he's signing for.
@@stephenholland5930 Correct but as the video mentioned, The oxygen is topped up only a few times a year, not everyday. And the day the oxygen bottle was topped up is the exact day this incident occurred

P/S: above is a comment of the owner of this video replying to a person. I only copied it like a reminder for myself.
Thank you very much. So no information on other iPhones trying to connect to the cellular tower just like the FO's?
Hey, I remember the captains home flight data wasn’t actually clear and that the flight towards the indian ocean was recovered from corrupted files and it was unclear whether all the data points towards the indian ocean were in the same save file or not. This was a while ago that I remember this so I’m not sure if the findings changed and it’s confirmed now but I remember the investigation board not being able to 100% confirm there was a similar flight path. Is there any clarification on this? Thanks for your post btw very detailed and great!
Respectfully - aside from the moments where he explicitly states as much - one of average intelligence should be able to deduce what can be proven and can’t.
@@lewishendo9328 yeah i need a source for this too. No reputable outlets are reporting this with confidence, it's all theories.
I was able to deduce correctly which bits were speculation, but I find it really helpful to have it listed in such detail, particularly for reference later.
The list of facts is particularly compelling.
Many thanks for your effort!
This analysis and presentation is an absolute master-class, best youtube video I have seen for a while. I really hope you get the recognition you deserve. Amazing work!
Incredible video! Couldn't stop watching! I've been obsessed with this plane mystery since it started and this is easily one of the best videos to date.
I feel for the first officer in the moment when he realized he was being shut out of the cockpit by his captain. Aside from the captain he was the only one who knew what was going on in that moment. How horrifying that must have been.
This is something else, never seen, never heard, never tried.
A sharp mind made us fly and a sharp mind made us crash. Humans are unbelievable.
But how does the investigators know what occurred on the plane in terms of the copilot being told to make coffee and then being locked out and putting in the code etc
@@darkhacker8747That’s exactly what I was going to ask.
@@darkhacker8747 Lol, There will always be more questions than answers. Look at glass half full.
@@darkhacker8747it’s not clear from the video but these are all just things that could have possibly happened. The only true facts are the few signals that were received from the plane and its presence on the military radars. Everything else is simple speculation

Airline need to have 3 pilots. If one go make coffee the other officer can still stay behind and check on the Captain. LOL!!!
How did this channel know that Zaharie after sending his co pilot to get coffee, reached behind him to get his sweater…?
@@JadeeCee-ty1heIt was a hypothesis that he said
@@simbatortie9684 this was only implemented after this accident
@@GlutenEruption Not true before flying became more streamlined there used to be more people in cockpit like 3-4. They were flight eginners, not pilots but they could still help in emergencies.
Excellent video. I love your detailed and objective explanations. In my opinion you are the best aviation channel.
Thank you from Ireland 🇮🇪
Former airline pilot here. V.Good technical video. There are a couple of things I'd dispute though. The Langkawi PSR only has a range of 60 NM. It is a Terminal Radar so it doesn't need the range of an Air Defence radar. It was the Butterworth Air Defence PSR that picked them up in the Malacca Strait.
Without doubt it was the captain. The captain probably did the TOPC toilet run first and as soon as he came back told the FO he should go. I've done enough of these two-pilot, back of the clock, all night sectors to know how they work.
There is no requirement to turn off power to the ACARS to stop it transmitting. The is an MFD on the centre pedestal that holds the ACARS manager program. That program can be used to Isolate the ACARS from the communications system. It literally takes less than 5 seconds to do it.
The LH AC Bus powers the SATCOM SDU so it is only that bus that needs to be turned off to shut down the SATCOM. The SATCOM provision in the cabin for the Cabin Supervisor was the main target there. The RH Bus operates normally but he would have closed the RH Bus Tie to stop that powering the LH Bus. I don't know if that would make a difference to the equipment cooling, I think it may but not to the same extent as losing both AC Busses for an extended time.
As far as the Cabin oxygen bottles are concerned, if the Cabin Altitude was taken to 35,000 feet, it doesn't matter how much oxygen is in those bottles, there isn't enough positive pressure to force the oxygen into the alveoli, which means anyone in the Cabin using them was probably unconscious within a few minutes.
The 22 Minute overhead oxygen generators work to a schedule that assumes the aircraft is descending after a depress. This means that after three minutes, the generators reduce their output on the assumption of a descent. This probably means that everyone in the Cabin was Non-Compos after about 5 minutes, brain dead not long after.
But well done on the video. Hope to see more.
You clearly should have been the consultant on the netflix show.
Thank you for your added expert insight!
Wow airline pilots are also nearly electricians/electronics/software and system engineers and techs. I can see why. My respect to you all. I'm not worthy.
Excellent expert insight.

I still remember the day when we learnt, that while we had already starting mourning the loss, the plane was actually still flying. An Australian wife and mother in Perth lost her husband / kids father, on that flight. She went out and looked towards the ocean and sky and screamed out in pain when she heard the news the plane was missing on it way to china.. unknowingly at the time, she was actually the closest to him at that point and the plane was still flying in the distance, in the direction she was looking out to sea.... off the western coast of aus... i dont know how i would cope learning that after fact ontop of the grief already
Sad but true, the deeds of a Malaysian pilot. All given to them easy with a birthright of being a Malay.
What is the "birthright of being a Malay"?
@@liloleist5133Malaysia is a country that is extremely multiracial with chinese, indian, indigenous tribes and way more diversity. But since there are so many foreign ethnic groups not native to Malaysia, the malays who are actually native to Malaysia and have their ethnicity in the country name are highly important in Malaysia. Most politicians and all prime ministers in Malaysia have all been Malay's.
sounds like a horror story
Outstanding presentation. My heart goes out to the families of those passengers and the crew, who were at the mercy of a madman.
I can understand how much effort you have put to make this documentary, I have watched many videos of Mh 370 but your video truly stands 'Head and shoulders' among all.
To make a documentary you need real facts which you have provided and one needs a great 'voice' which you have. A job really well done.
Can you imagine being one of the family members or friend that was waiting for this flight to land? Only to be met with an empty casket and lies from the government. My heart hurts for the families and friends til this day.
Yes its a horrific and bizarre feel.. Everybody deserve a closure and the cold hearted pilot didn't even spare a thought for this... till date i do not understand what did he achieved by this fanatic act... apart from bringing disgrace to his family and friends.
@@mishtic8024 This thing is pure fiction and never happened, it's speculation ffs. If anything it's closer to the german flight crash where the copilot did proven to commit it.

@@phoneyphonepretty sure they meant that time flew faster than ever but alright.
Youre an excellent storyteller. This was so well done. Congrats!
That coffee errand….
There’s something incredibly calming but also eery about this wonderful presentation. Thank you.
I’ve watched a lot of documentaries on MH370 and most of them repeated info and never went in depth on specifics of airplane controls. Your video is exceptionally detailed and I found myself learning something new every minute!
Totally agree.
because it's from a lecture that came out a month ago. It's on TH-cam, Royal Aeronautical Society MH370. Very interesting, scientific work
The flight path around the northern coast of Sumatra should have been considered suspicious from the start. Instead of simply flying west from Penang Island if there was an emergency onboard, the curving flight path looked intentional, as if the pilot flying wanted to avoid ATC and military radar.
yeah i thought this was another video with vague info and speculation just like the ones i've watched past few years. this is different, but how did this guy tells the story like he was sitting next to the pilot? like whats up with the sweater and coffee? did i miss something? is there any new records leaked to the public?
@@edytekken
Total speculation.
I have an unusual interest in MH370. I am married to a Malaysian Airline cabin crew.
I was in the UK at the time and although I knew she wasn't rostered for this flight she did report around the same time. Last minute changes in the crew room can happen so it was a long wait for me as her Whatsapp message didn't deliver as she didn't have reception on the island she was night stopping. Anyway she was fine.
She knew the Captain and a lot of the crew on MH370, always really sad in any airline.
She said he was a lovely guy and she couldn't believe he would kill himself. He had everything to live for, despite going through a divorce.
Possibly confirmation bias, I had always remembered the large amount of Lithium Ion batteries in the cargo. Many times what is legally allowed to be carried on European carriers.
That along with my wife's words, I have seen this as a tragic accident.
This video has changed all that. My wife would defend a colleague as most of us would so it isn't a reliable source.
The Captain was a Muslim and in their faith, suicide would bring such shame on his family. It is a massive taboo. Was this the perfect suicide that would always be hidden? Or so he thought.
I watched this video as I have so many about MH370 but this time the tiny details started to paint a more clear picture.
The transponder: This was the first massive clue to me. I am a pilot so have an understanding of aircraft systems. If it was a fire due to Lithium as I have previously thought and you lost the transponder, it would just go dead, it wouldn't cycle through any functions.
That one piece of evidence was enough for me. Someone physically turned off the transponder.
I carried on watching and it became increasingly difficult to go against suicide.
I know the area really well, his planning was meticulous. He knew the Malaysian military would be half asleep, monitoring in the early hours. (Malaysia is a very laid back country.)
What I thought was a stricken aircraft desperately trying to get back to KLIA wasn't the case.
My first thought was loss of communication due to fire and the first thought was to get back to the most familiar runways.
The route up the Straights of Malacca was spot on. Anyone can see on Flightradar 24 how busy this is.
Finally, if there was a tiny doubt left in my mind, the home sim was the final straw.
This video was the not only the best on MH 370, it is one of the best on aircraft accidents.
Brilliant detail.
Many thanks.
I have lack of aviation knowledge, just a basic question to you: Why didn't any other aircraft detect the presence of MH370 while it was flying over the southern Indian ocean? Don't aircrafts detect large objects, such as another airplane, using sensors, even if the satellite transponder is off?
@@shawonahmed5775if you are talking about the ability of aircraft to detect other aircraft at night without needing Air Traffic Control, then there is a technology for that called Traffic Collision Avoidance System （TCAS）. TCAS involves the transponders of at least 2 nearby planes communicating to each other altitude, speed, position and heading information of the planes they are installed in. If TCAS systems on 2 planes detects that said 2 planes are about to collide then it sends out audio instructions to the pilots of the respective aircraft on what action to take, mainly to climb or descend. When there is no longer a threat of mid-air collision it sends out the message “clear of conflict”.
But despite offloading quite a lot of work from ATC controllers who being human are still prone to human errors, TCAS has 2 big potential weaknesses. 1) unlike Stick Pushers (an anti-stall system installed on some commercial aircraft to augment the usual stall warning systems) TCAS is not capable of directly forcing the plane to climb or descend if the pilots do not respond to it or properly follow its instructions (descend instead of climb for example). And 2) TCAS depends on the transponder being on and properly functioning.
Weakness number 1 is one of the primary contributing factors behind the 2002 Uberlingen mid-air collision in which a DHL 757 freighter and a chartered Bashkirian Airlines Tupolev Tu-154 collided in mid-air over the Swiss-German border. The DHL crew followed their TCAS instruction to descend, but the Russian crew in the Tu-154 followed the ATC controller’s instruction to descend instead of following their TCAS instruction to climb. By the time the 2 planes saw each other the closing speeds were such that there was almost no way to avoid the collision. Why the Russian crew did not follow their TCAS instruction was primarily down to cultural issues and TCAS being a relatively new technology at the time. Even though TCAS had been under development since the 1980s, it was only in the 1990s to turn of the millennium era was TCAS made mandatory equipment on civilian airliners whether old, newly built or newly designed. In the western aviation world, if pilots encountered TCAS giving instructions that were different to that given by a ATC controller, they were trained to follow TCAS instructions and inform the controller of such. But everywhere else in the world and the former Soviet states in this case, there was no such training for this kind of scenario, and because ATC has historically been nearly infallible despite humans being in the feedback loop, the Russian pilots followed the ATC controller’s instructions instead of TCAS even though TCAS was correct and the controller was wrong. After this collision, all pilot training worldwide mandated that TCAS instructions always take precedent over ATC.
Weakness 2 means that if a transponder is off (as in MH370), malfunctioning or accidentally put into the wrong mode, then TCAS in said plane won’t work even if the transponder and TCAS in a nearby plane is working. In 2006, a brand new Embraer Legacy business jet sliced the wing off a Gol Transportes Aeroes 737 over the Amazon rainforest in a head-on mid-air collision in 37,000 feet. The Embraer jet successfully landed at a military airfield but the 737 crashed. At the moment of the collision, the Embraer jet’s transponder was in standby mode (basically transponder off) and its TCAS would not be on in that mode. In addition, systemic administrative and training related flaws in Brazilian area ATC meant that Brazilian controllers handling the plane thought the Embraer was at its assigned altitude of 36,000 feet instead of its actual altitude of 37,000 feet (important to note that Embraer’s flight plan called for an initial cruise altitude of 37,000 feet then descend to 36,000 feet after passing the Brasilia VOR radio beacon). The thing is, ATC instructions, because they are told live to the pilots as they are flying, can always override filed flight plans in case of unusual circumstances. And due to the confusion in the area ATC, Brazilian controllers did not tell the Embraer to descend to 36,000 feet since they thought it was there already. Why the Embraer’s transponder was shut off is debated to this day, but the theory with the most weight (presented by Brazilian investigators) was that the Embraer pilots accidentally shut it off while they were troubleshooting the plane’s systems (its also important to note that preparations for this flight were pretty rushed, explaining why they were problem solving in the air instead of before the flight). Neither pilot noticed the “TCAS OFF” message on their flight displays, both troubleshooting the problem instead of one solving the problem whilst the other pays attention to their instruments as per their likely Crew Resource Management training. But at the time, if TCAS is turned off whilst the plane is airborne, it wasn’t mandatory to have an audible warning to tell pilots TCAS was off - just messages on the flight display in the case of the Embraer plane.
If you look at the Strait of Malacca on Flightradar24 (which tracks civilian aircraft and some military aircraft using ADS-B) you will notice that it’s a moderately trafficked air corridor dominated by planes heading to and from northwest of Singapore airport. How MH370 could successfully navigate this corridor at 2 am without colliding with other planes due to no TCAS can be explained by a combination of half asleep night shift civilian and military ATC controllers, and the fact that this is a very off-peak time period for airports in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

Weakness 2 means that if a transponder is off (as in MH370), malfunctioning or accidentally put into the wrong mode, then TCAS in said plane won’t work even if the transponder and TCAS in a nearby plane is working. In 2006, a brand new Embraer Legacy business jet sliced the wing off a Gol Transportes Aeroes 737 over the Amazon rainforest in a head-on mid-air collision in 37,000 feet. The Embraer jet successfully landed at a military airfield but the 737 crashed. At the moment of the collision, the Embraer jet’s transponder was in standby mode (basically transponder off) and its TCAS would not be on in that mode. In addition, systemic administrative and training related flaws in Brazilian area ATC meant that Brazilian controllers handling the plane thought the Embraer was at its assigned altitude of 36,000 feet instead of its actual altitude of 37,000 feet (important to note that Embraer’s flight plan called for an initial cruise altitude of 37,000 feet then descend to 36,000 feet after passing the Brasilia VOR radio beacon). The thing is, ATC instructions, because they are told live to the pilots as they are flying, can always override filed flight plans in case of unusual circumstances. And due to the confusion in the area ATC, Brazilian controllers did not tell the Embraer to descend to 36,000 feet since they thought it was there already. Why the Embraer’s transponder was shut off is debated to this day, but the theory with the most weight (presented by Brazilian investigators) was that the Embraer pilots accidentally shut it off while they were troubleshooting the plane’s systems (its also important to note that preparations for this flight were pretty rushed, explaining why they were problem solving in the air instead of before the flight). Neither pilot noticed the “TCAS OFF” message on their flight displays, both troubleshooting the problem instead of one solving the problem whilst the other pays attention to their instruments as per their likely Crew Resource Management training. But at the time, if TCAS is turned off whilst the plane is airborne, it wasn’t mandatory to have an audible warning to tell pilots TCAS was off - just messages on the flight display in the case of the Embraer plane.
If you look at the Strait of Malacca on Flightradar24 (which tracks civilian aircraft and some military aircraft using ADS-B) you will notice that it’s a moderately trafficked air corridor dominated by planes heading to and from northwest of Singapore airport. How MH370 could successfully navigate this corridor at 2 am without colliding with other planes despite having no TCAS can be explained by a combination of half asleep night shift civilian and military ATC controllers, and the fact that this is a very off-peak time period for airports in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
In addition, the plane’s flight path involved attempting to follow the borders of flight information regions aka it was flying along the edge of the radar coverage of various area control centers in Sumatra and Malaysia. And even though radars do overlap into the FIRs of other countries, because of the Chicago convention of 1944, the area ATC controllers who might have seen MH370’s unidentified blip on primary radar may have assumed it was under the control of the adjacent area control center instead of theirs. In addition, tired or complacent controllers in the middle of the night may not picked up the fact that there was a plane with no transponder flying ALONG FIR borders instead of into or out of them.
I feel for his family, and the other affected by this tradegy, but foul play seems very clear from this video. I do hope the bulk of the wreckage is found soon to give the families with missing lost ones closure.
@@shawonahmed57751. The southern Indian ocean is vastly empty and is really large.
2. Aircrafts can't detect other aircrafts. The ATC does that for them. So an aircraft doesn't know there is a plane near them until the ATC alerts them. For example when flying in fog. The ATC alerts them of where nearby aircraft are but the aircraft themselves cant detect each other.
Just want to congratulate you on (as many others have said) your best video to date. Ive spent the last week or so binge watching every video since finding this one. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thank you!
@@GreenDotAviationthere is no way you know any of this information without them finding the airplane
@@augustusplays7896Like what? He pointed out all known facts, every speculation in the video is based on occam's razor.
Every other theory has no logical reasoning, or facts backing them up.
Why would the pilot coincidentally delete his flight sim, just before his last flight, even though his life is centered around aviation and he has an expensive sim setup? That's as close to an admission of guilt as you can get. To have the opinion it was rigged, is irrational and likely based on the proportionality bias.
@@Hypagon Occam’s razor allows him to speculate that he told co pilot go get coffee? And depressurize the plane? Cmon man, it’s fiction lol
@@augustusplays7896 So you think the point of the video is invalid, because he speculated about a few minor details that are entirely irrelevant to the case? They are only there to paint the picture. You just fell for the base rate fallacy.
Great piece of work. Kudos to your research went behind in making this video
Whilst the scenario discussed in this video is rare, the fact that a pilot is able to do all these things like turning off the signals to the ground, locking out the other pilot etc, seems baffling. We've seen several instances of death by pilot in the last 10 years or so. I feel like the airline industry needs to make adjustments, such as giving the co-pilot and pilot their own separate codes to access the cockpit and not allow one person in the cockpit so lock them out.
They have the deny button no matter what in case a highjacker gets any code opening the door which is still the same problem if the copilot has his own code or a third secret code which is just as secret as the second code.
@@ErinJeanette Since 2001, there have been around 10 successful hijackings which involved an passenger forcing their way onto the flight deck. And there hasn't been a single innocent casualty or incident of a plane flying into a ground structure.
Yet the death toll from death by pilot since 2013 alone stands at 554. Hijackings are virtually unheard these days and are even more rare when they involve a person with suicidal motives.
You do not compromise safety by allowing the pilot/co-pilot the ability to override being locked out of the cockpit by the other member of the flight crew. But it would have prevented MH370, GermanWings Flight 9525 and China Eastern Airlines Flight 5735.
The scenario you're imagining, where a hijacker gets access to a code which allows them onto the flight deck, is so far fetched.
@@1532JJ I'm not saying you're wrong, I just think that's the reason because I said the same thing, I couldn't BELIEVE a pilot was able to do any of this and shut their communication off essentially to the world and then lock a copilot out that's insane!
Truly ironic that due to 911, when there were likely no hijackers, just digital manipulation or drones, people think hijacking is a common threat to everyday fight travel. So rare especially with all the security technology used just to board a flight.
As cabin crew I can tell you that we do have procedures that contradict some parts of this video. For example, at no time is the cockpit occupied by only one person. The purser, or lead flight attendant would have been in there if the first officer had come out.
Best documentary ever made on the disappeance of MH 370. Very logical and practical approach
Its not documentary. Its creative writing. Anything that takes place on the plane is speculation at best, completely made up at worst.
It's logical hypothesis of what likely happened. All the pieces fit.
the netflix 'documentary' was actual creative writing. this is more of a documentary explaining what happened with filling some of the gaps with assumptioms@@TheGreatDanish
@@luxemierthe Netflix documentary was definitely something else than this video, this video is many levels above. But both are technically creative writing, because no video will EVER be able to tell you what actually happened during that flight. This video definitely tells you what MOST LIKELY happened, but without the black box we wouldn’t even be close to determine anything with certainty. Filling “some of the gaps” with assumptions is in my opinion treating this video a bit too lightly, there’s a lot of assumptions in this video, seemingly great assumptions! LEMMiNOs video of this incident is a true example of a documentary of what happened, because that video never assumes anything that isn’t actually known, with proof backing it up. This video and LEMMiNOs is the two most educational videos that exist for people wanting to know what this tragedy was actually about

@@ibrahimsadiq9050 guessing and inserting details to make a compelling story
When compared to Helios flight 552 it becomes clear as day that nothing about MH370's downing was accidental & the only thing that was left to fate was its final glide.
Germanwings Flight 9525 which happened nearly exactly a year later proves without a doubt that such human actions are possible. Also, what happens in the United States to schools and other crowded places also shows what depraved acts humans are capable of. The fact that so many pilots want to deny this is quite telling. Unfortunately, denial doesn't change the facts.

This is not a documentary, it is a docudrama.
Be careful, this is not a documentary, 90% of it is speculation, not fact. It presents speculation as being fact. All claims about what happened inside the plane is 100% fiction. Nobody knows what happened inside the plane.
Agreed
Same here! Intriguing
Me Too Great Work
The most damning evidence, despite it not being enough, is most definitely the flight simulator's record of the exact path that coincided with every point the satellite handshakes were done.
Like honestly, it's hard to believe that he WASN'T the culprit at this point.
Flight sim data was different. FBI ruled it a dead end. The journalist that reported it also is the same one from the Netflix show about the Russian hackers
@@DeclanHiggins__ Any attempt to exculpate the captain strikes me as lame in the extreme. You have a crime with just one possible suspect, and you still can't get it right?
@@wrathofatlantis2316 I never made a claim about the captains guilt or innocence, I just merely pointed out that the flight sim data is not strong evidence
@@DeclanHiggins__ Fair enough. So on the flight sim there was no strange prolonged flights to nowhere over the Indian ocean (or similar odd course reversals to nowhere in different directions), and there was no detected attempt to erase those particular flight paths at the exclusion of others? That would indeed make the sim connection just an urban legend. Of course that would change nothing as to his guilt, but it is interesting that such a claim would be widely disseminated with nothing to support it. Wouldn't be the first time.
@@wrathofatlantis2316 well the thing is, we don’t know. It was found on an old Hard drive in a fragmented file with literally thousands of cached locations. The FBI ended up dismissing it because it wasn’t really evidence. There’s no way to tell the locations were even from the same flight. All it could tell them was that in some point in the captains flight simming, his plane was in those locations, as well as thousands of other locations in the file. I think the much more damming evidence against the captain is that the flight transponder was manually switched off
Incredible video. Was meant to goto sleep for work and hour ago but couldnt as this was so gripping!
I'm so thrilled after watching this video. I saw the Netflix documentary. They gave so many assumptions. But the way you explained was so convincing and mind blowing.
A ghost plane with no one alive inside, flying itself for hours, high above Indian Ocean, frozen in time. It’s somehow very poetic, as well as horrifying.
This video is such a masterpiece.
Poetic indeed.."At this point Captain Zaharies presence in the cockpit was superfluous" The narrator says in reference to captain's removal of his own oxygen mask😢
Darn good investigative account of a complex crime. The question that remains in my mind is how an experienced airline captain can do such a thing without warning. Same for the Germanwing first officer. How can such occurrences be prevented?
@@batifola3463now, there must be at least two crew members in the cockpit at any given time.
@@batifola3463
you could prevent incidents like this but at the cost of enabling hijackers to take over the controls. It's an unfortunate trade-off - you either give the crew the ability to keep others from the cockpit no matter what, or you enable others to get into it. There is no perfect solution.
Ultimately given how incredibly rare incidents like this are vs the countless hijackings that have happened throughout history, this seems like a reasonable decision, but unfortunately no solution is 100% secure.
@@streettrialsandstuffthat was the rule when I was left alone in a cockpit last year so it’s easily ignored.

@@abaez008 I agree, but he did say this was the most likely scenario from the available information, so those "made up" details are educated best guesses. It would have been clumsy if he said "our best guess is" over and over. I agree with you, it really is an amazing video.
It is more fiction than truth...
I was watching a segment from an Australian news outlet on Flight 370 recently and in it Tony Abbott, who was Australia's PM at the time, said that the Malaysian government essentially told him that they knew from the start it was a mass murder-suicide in the early days of the search. I feel like this really isn't talked about enough. I also feel like people don't talk about how badly the whole situation was handled at the time and even now to this day. The Malaysian government will never admit what really happened because they don't want people to know. There is only one possible explanation and that is that the pilot intentionally made the plane "disappear". There is no other explanation for the manual shut off of communication systems, the intentional flight path that best obfuscated the plane's detection, the chosen target being the Indian Ocean, etc. The only argument against the murder-suicide explanation that I've ever seen is that "the pilot had no reason to be depressed". Even ignoring the allegations of his cheating and separation from his wife, how many people over the years that have committed senseless murders without any real reason? How many murderers have been described as "the last guy you'd think would commit such a crime"? Many. How many have unalived themselves without any indication that they were even depressed? Many. To dismiss the only rational and plausible explanation of what happened to Flight 370 based on whether a man you don't even know could have been psychotic/depressed is ridiculous. All evidence points towards it being the captain.
That's insightful!
I can't believe the airline decided this flight without a second captain would be good enough!
@Ira__L This was my takeaway also unfortunately as soon as I heard about the direct turns, flight sim and electronics coming back on.
I wonder if it may have been a cultural trend in some Asian countries where elders and veterans are given the benefit of the doubt, so they couldn’t have thought that Captain Shah would have done anything, so they went along with his likely request for MH370 to be a training flight without a second thought.
Yeah, this is it, and it is obvious and undeniable. The evidence is way too strong. Sadly, I am familiar with another disaster, where the pilot used the post-911 cabin door to keep everyone from stopping him doing the unthinkable.
@@samueljennings4809 Nothing to do with Asian culture at all. Malaysia Airlines is owned by the government. They don't want to be held responsible or liable. They don't want the embarrassment of their incompetence being exposed either. How did they not realize they were chasing a projected flight path for so long? Why was there such a catastrophic failure in communication between different parties (airline, towers, government, military, etc.)? Why didn't they scramble jets when their military primary radars picked up the rogue plane? Why do all the official reports by the Malaysian government rule out every possible explanation except murder-suicide but still claim that they don't know what happened? Very simply, they don't want people to know.
Pilot made a deal with secret military entities to deliver the scientists and plane full of people as ordered

As a (retired) Aeronautical Engineer I think that the video describes the most likely and logical scenario.

Very interesting
@@moosesnWoop thank you; very interesting. I have comments but this is not the appropriate venue. I will only say that also as a formet (private) pilot I find the controlled ditching scenario very unlikely. In total darkness the perception of the three dimensions is next to nil. Nevertheless their proposed scenarion cannot be dismissed outright becaue it has many valid points.
@@moosesnWoop where is this video pls
I wrote this above :
I often wondered if this pilot was such an airline geek and so depressed that he just hijaked an airliner to try things with a 777 that he alway wanted to try . He wanted to go out doing things he couldn't do on commercial flights. If he stole an empty airliner the military would be notified to stop him . I can imagine he went to super High Altitudes, dives, rolling bank angles . We have no idea what stress maneuvers he did over the ocean. I also heard somewhere he wanted to get even with Gov. for sentencing a friend to prison . If so , the national airline losing a plane is a good way to hit the Government hard in the pocket. One thing he didn't prepare for (thank God )is that He didn't know that the satellite company Inmarsat could track him.
Imagine that We would still be looking for this plane in the China sea or in Vietnam!!
@@lorenzodelfino5894 well assuming the ditching happened towards the end of the flight, it would be around 8 am so the sun would have been up by then.
I think this is the most possible theory of them all so far. It's also hauntingly eerie and horrifying. It almost sparks a fear similar to the fear you'd get if you were lost in the vacuum of space - cut off from everyone, slowly waiting for death.
This scenario is also beautifully presented in this video. You guys' amazing skill at video ambience stands out here and sends shivers down your spine. This video needs to receive some award.
That's much appreciated, thank you. It is an incredibly eerie scenario.
I agree! It's very well done.
@@GreenDotAviation I've learned a lot thanks to your videos! I've never truly understood why air accidents happen until watching your videos, as well as how heroic/resourceful some of these captains had to be in order to save their planes. (And how bad the airline standard/training in my country, Indonesia, is.)
But I have a question-- was there a big discovery/development that allowed you guys to zero in on this theory? I actually remembered watching a video covering this here-- I remembered the details about the captain having the flight simulator on this exact path, as well as that sharp turn toward the South that made everyone look for the wrong spot in the Indian Ocean-- but some of details are new-- like the intentional depressurizing of the cabin... Did that actually happen (like was it actually done in the flight simulator?), or was it just the most likely theory, since that's pretty much the best way for the captain to get rid of everyone who could meddle with this bizarre plan?
(Or did I miss something, perhaps like something explained in the opening? Anyone is free to point out/answer for me too.) (I want to share this video with a friend, but I'd like to be able to explain if there was some sort of new development that made this refined theory possible.)
Maybe I'm giving the captain too much credit, but I wonder if he was trying to prove how disastrous things can get if the captain of a plane were actually malicious...
There was at least ten man hours of Oxygen in the cabin? and the crew sat down and used the overheads,
thats logical. SO, they assume given that amount of oxygen, that no one could get through the cockpit door. I could,
and so could many engineers.Were there any engineering types aboard? OH, just a few! the door is designed to stop a determined
hijacker,not several clever people with at least half an hour of oxygen. It is designed to deny entry in a reasonable amount of time,
so I assumed there was not enough oxygen avaliable in the cabin for anyone to spend half an hour or more on the door, but apparently
there was! Also, the SATCOM had no AC supply, the Left hand AC bus was down for a while. How many systems does that degrade?
ALSO, the transponder transmitting a height of 0ft prior to going off completely.
I need to see the evidence...Secondery radar operates by transmitting a transpond request to the aircraft WHEN the radar antenna
is pointing to it. So, are you saying a change happened in that small window of time, or the next sweep? More questions than answers....
The one question I would like answered, how many people on board were pilots themselves?
@@GreenDotAviation You are amazing, this one is your best one yet. Can I ask you though your opinion, could this guy have stolen this aircraft to sell on? Obs to do so he would have had to kill the passengers. Change his name, get on with his life a few million pounds better off?

What??? No mate.
The flight simulator with the attempted delete is such a blaring red flag how could something like that be overlooked. 🤦🏽♂️ It makes no sense to me.
Perhaps that, and the fact that the Malaysian military never identified that an unknown aircraft flew across the breadth of their country are what the government officials are concealing from the world and from the families.
It wasn't overlooked, this is one of the first things they talked about when it happened. They just gave the pilot the benefit-of-doubt at first.
The altered date corresponding to his next rostered flight on that route convinces me. Never heard that detail
Malaysia Airlines will never admit that they allowed a pilot to mass suicide. Egypt air covered up a pilot suicide the same way.
i thought so myself. But the truth is he didnt fly the route in the simulator .What they found was he or someone had manually used the cursor to that position of flight path ,like a test point or a simple drawing ,then it was deleted . There were probably test points all over the map that he did .In the end it means nothing ,suspicious but every pilot with a simulator probably does the same thing testing fuel exhaustion for any reason ,fun ? maybe curiosity probably

I would like to point out, nobody switched the SDU off and nobody switched it back on, because there is no means to do so. Bizarrely though, it cannot be disabled without human intervention. Air experts spent a huge amount of time trying to find a way it could have gone off and on by itself - they drew a blank. Hence, the only human intervention that could turn it on and off as there is no switch or means to do it, would be a power interruption instigated by human interaction. Whoever was flying it turned the power off shortly after IGARI then turned it on again after 2.22am. He didn't know about the SDU, many pilots were asked about the SDU after MH370 disappeared, none knew what it was. They didn't need to because there was no means of turning it on or off, it was not part of a pilot's training. Whoever did this thought his route would be 100% untraceable forever, but the SDU caught him out.
Power interruption and power restoration can make SDU go off and on.
That's what I'm saying. It can't be turned on or off from the cockpit or anywhere else and it can't go off by itself.@@bricedesmaures6216
@@bricedesmaures6216 Yes thats what I said, but power interruptions are incredibly rare.
@@Sunburst75 This whole situation is a massive outlier so it's fine to assume that rare things happened.
@@EGarrett01 The power went off after the turn at Igari, and it almost certainly went off in the radar dead zone. It comes back on again about 40 minutes later, which just happened to be outside Indonesian radar range. It then stays on until the end as there was no need to cut the power again as there was only 1 person left alive on board. The question is, who did it?
Those people on the Feb 21st flight are probably all alive today because one man had a strong bladder.

@@frankthetank8050exactly what i’m wondering. i didn’t know any details about this flight’s (his-)story before this video and as i was watching the introductions where green dot introduced the two pilots i thought to myself “both don’t seem to have a motive to mess something up”. this came so out of the blue
@@frankthetank8050 Why? Probably there was no why. Many people commit crimes for no reason. They simply want to do it and they do it and it is all that matters for them.
And in the end why doesn't even matter. What possible justification can there be for murdering 200+ random people? Absolutely none!
This pilot is simply a mass murderer and that's it. The duty of an airliner pilot is not to fly a plane, but to safely transport passegers. He failed his duty by his own malice. What a pathetic failure of a man.
Edit: The comment is a bit incomplete. Down bellow, I wrote more and explained my opinion better.

@@caramelldansen2204 He didn't show any malice or intent to kill prior to this event. Even the simulator recordings at his home as suspicious as they are not necessarily definite proof. However, the proof that at least one of the pilots intentionally crashed this plane comes from the plane crash itself. It is by far the most likely explanation here. This crash could only happened in the way we believe it did if someone with extensive operational knowledge of Boeing 777 was flying this aircraft. Now this can mean a few things:
1) One of the pilots deliberately crashed this plane
2) Both of the pilots deliberately crashed this plane
3) Someone else was involved in the hijacking and either also knew how to fly Boeing 777 or,
4) This/these hijackers forced pilots to crash this plane.
Now which of these 4 possibilities is the most likely is already explained in this video and I also happen to agree with 1st possibility. Yes, it is possible that some other scenario played out here, but this is the best proof we have and therefore we can consider this definite proof of this event because that is the most accurate judgment we can make. With the facts that we have awaylable, this currently is definite proof.
And I do apologise if something is a bit unclear here. English is only my 3rd language after all.
Absolutely riveting. I thought I had heard everything about this case but I have never seen it presented in such a compelling way. Bravo.
This was excellent and very convincing, unlike the offensive, ghoulish cack being doled out on Netflux and so many thousands of websites. There is one thing though: I was really hoping he'd at least give the latest assessments of Richard Godfrey and his WSPR flightpath identification theories. In fact this still seems to be plausible. However the path calculated by using WSPR (OTHR) is not straight, suggesting the Zaharie didn't just switch into auto-pilot. mh370search dortkom.

Apologies to those who were fascinated with this video. This is one of the most baseless doc on MH370 ever produced. Blurring the boundary between facts and fiction. How in the world, this guy knows the specific details of what the Captain told his first captain when the plane's black box has never been found. Sweater and coffee, making holes in the plane, utter nonsense!! You cannot make someone guilty until it's proven and you cannot prove something based on fiction.
Amazing video. Best on this I’ve seen. Excellent narration , graphics and flow. Keep up the good work
Incredibly put together
This creator is one of the best on TH-cam. This was like watching an Oscar winning suspense movie, truly a genius at work.
I couldn’t stop watching. I just didn’t like how he continually used CCTV footage showing nothing.
Airliners should add an untemperable GPS beacon with 24 hrs dedicated battery to their planes.
As it is usually the case, scenario and events lead to new rules and regulations. Hopefully they will implement more safety on board based on stories like this one
also the "handshakes" should be every 5 minutes not every hour
Rolls-Royce have tracking capabilities within their aero engines, something not widely known. Think they kept quiet for a long time.
@@poisonvolkswagon9431 if i remember correctly that has been implemented. Ive read somewhere some time ago that now, today, no airplane could disappear in the way MH370 did
cameras the whole nine,they make billions of dollars and can't provide safe rides and GPS locations..I'm cool
Congratulations. I watched this video two times in the same day after watching Mentour's video. Absolutely amazing. Fantastic work 🎉
I think you did far better than the Netflix's carbage content.
Keep up the good work buddy.
Absolutely fantastic documentary. I know little to nothing about aviation, yet I was able to understand what happened due to your concise narration of what most likely happened. My thoughts as a layperson are that the Malaysian government knows this is what happened but is avoiding taking responsibility due to shame/embarrassment that this happened on their watch.
Hi Green Dot, I'm a Level D Simulator Engineer and previously a Aircraft Tech. I REALLY appreciate your documentaries and aircraft knowledge and how you execute it.
I've watched other channels but I find myself not finishing their videos because of how far off from quality and delivery compared to yours. I even remake those events during my Sim tests to test out various functions, as required, and keeps my knowledge current and sharp.
I keep up the Great work and as always, I'll be waiting for you next upload.
Did you watch the recent 2-parter done by The Lore Lodge? It was as painful as it was infuriating. I went in with an open mind and genuinely hoped it would give me another perspective to at least understand why others believe some of the conspiracies. I had to stop it multiple times and force myself to go back to finish it, and it only made me less understanding of the wild theories out there. I’m curious to know what others thought of it after watching Green Dots narrative.
@@deborahbates470 I don't know that channel, I'll check it out.
I put off this video because I thought I'd heard it all - keeping up with news, with updates, with documentaries. But this put all the pieces together. I've heard bits and pieces of this story - most of which you covered - but that were discovered early on in the investigation, only to either get swept under the rug or ignored since it didn't fit a single narrative. Thank you for putting this video together, it really cleared things up, especially since you add sources.
Its all most all ways the pilot error.
There is no evidence that the pilot caused the disappearance. It is huge disappointment that this quality YT channel would create a video that states speculation as facts.
@@nrnoblehe says so many times to at these aren’t facts and just the most plausible explanation due to evidence 🤦🏻♀️ you clearly don’t listen
@@nrnobleCompletely idiotic comment. It was made very clear by the uploader what the purpose and aim for this video was. If you can’t figure that out, there is no hope for you.
