I've always thought that this story was (a)unlikely, (b) jumped to the easiest answer by blaming the pilots, and (c) thus gave a good excuse for the airline and the Malaysian government.

The dailybeast.com has a long series of articles that demolish this suicide/terror theory and point to a much more likely explanation: a fire in a two-pallet load of lithium batteries irresponsibly stored in the forward cargo hold. The fire would have knocked out the electronics in exactly the ways that they failed. Unable to communicate and deprived of the flight control system, the crew used the autopilot to turn towards the nearest usable airports in Malaysia and Vietnam. But they were probably overcome by poisonous gases generated from the over-heated electrolyte. The gases killed the passengers and crew before they were aware, while the airframe withstood the fire and flew on until it ran out of fuel.
 
Please, remind that the daily beast got his inspiration from another source: old Keypub forum. Thanks in advance.
 
Germanwing Airbus failed to set its QNH while other traffic around were relying on it for deciphering altitude (among them, the guys that claimed sense and avoid was a ridiculous thing).
There is more to that* (read back old Keypub) but it makes more sense to suspect an unwanted external event than pouring crap on the memory of a poor kid.
I would like all to remember that of the many alleged material proofs said to have existed, not much have surfaced, including the dramatic audio of the flight or any audio resulting from the interception (an M2K was launched and rejoined the flight).

*if my mem stands right the error was by something like 300 ft.

Right, an unwanted external event that locked the cockpit door, initiated a steep descent into terrain, and ignored repeated "pull up" calls from the flight control system. It was 100% deliberate just based on the actions of the copilot, not even including the facts that he was under psychiatric treatment for depression (for the second time in his life) without reporting it as required.

Just musing, do/did Boeing 777 have other independent tracking and monitoring systems ? eg for engine systems diagnostic use ?
 
@martinbayer : this is not the point to discuss again GW crash here. I pointed to the lack of material evidences and mentioned that some were allegedly seen by the press. Same with that poor kid medical file and constant bias by medical experts openly discussing it in the press.

Not much was rational. This alone would amply justify reopening the case.

Last but not least, nutty that have deliberately crashed airliner, scarcely dit it in a shallow dive. Idem for MH370.

Example: (notice the extensive chatting and lack of focus)

I vaguely remember this started in 2018 as a thread about the enquiry into MH370 going down, and now it's also about purported Airbus technical difficulties. Heigh-ho.

Agree. Absolute off-topic.
To everyone, please, read the thread tittle before posting.
 
The latest search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been postponed, 11 years after the Boeing 777 aircraft vanished.

Malaysia’s transport minister, Anthony Loke, said: "They have stopped the operation for the time being, they will resume the search at the end of this year," in a voice recording sent to AFP on Thursday.
