it was a failed attempt to bring the plane to australian territory, the only mystery to me is why it failed, technical(because of tampering with plane electronics) or “human” reasons
Probably the most nonsensical theory I've read, Malaysian Airlines flies regularly to Australia, to multiple cities. Malaysia and Australia are generally friendly, the pilots would probably even be scheduled to fly to Australia on occasions due to their roster.Absolutely nothing to be gained or any political points to be made.
Can you give me a good reason why our nutcase might not one day be Nutcase King!?

The point was to make a statement. Pilot landing in Australia and requesting asylum after a regular flight wouldn't make news (except in local newspapers), pilot diverting a China bound flight, overflying Malaysia and going around Indonesia undetected landing surprisingly in Australia while all world media eyes are on the plane thinking it crashed in SCS would be entirely different.Absolutely nothing to be gained or any political points to be made.
There is no other plausible reason why anybody would do it like this.

Is that a boost to your application, like having Duke of Edinburgh Gold?

crashed into sea a bit northern along the 7th arc(besides they are now widening search area towards that point, the more they go to the north the bigger the chance to find it)El stovey said:
FFS not this rubbish still.

copilot/passengers(couple of engineers between them) fiddled with electronics in E/E bay and/or breached into the cockpit somehow with half-functioning plane (or who knows what else really)Why didn’t they reach Australia?

Do you think Australia is more likely to grant you asylum if you turn up at the desk with a stolen airliner and 300 confused abductees?

I don't think asylum was primary goal, he did it on a whim as a revenge for jailing the opposition leader which happened in the morning. Since he'd face death penalty if extradited Australia would probably have to keep him there.Is that a boost to your application, like having Duke of Edinburgh Gold?
