Wrong. Just an accident. Something happened that took out communication. They turned back to line directly over big airport. Overcome and plane then straight lined until it ran out of gas.

So if it was mechanical failure, why didn't the pilot take the plane to the closest airport?

The paths it was programmed to take do not take it anywhere close to approaching the patterns to the closest airports.
Unless it was lining up for Kota Bharu's army base near the coast.

But then the plane should of had the turn to enter pattern..
It's all speculation.

I'm kind of hoping for hypoxia now just because it's better than murder suicide for all involved.

An alternate flight route had already been programmed prior to the last verbal transaction with the plane.

Hmmmm

Boeing says that no malfunction or event could've turned transponder off, per Saxby Chambliss on Fox.


The transponder was turned off by someone. We know the plane was programmed to change direction 12 minutes before copilot said goodnight.
