I just don't understand why the pilot would have taken such elaborate measures to get to where they plane went. To hide the wreckage and cast doubt on the happenings? If that's the purpose, it seems to have been in vain.
He could have simply nose-dived the plane to the water at any point. Why bother with all the evasiveness?
- professorsnep 6y agoFrom what I understand, the theory is that the route was specifically designed so that nobody would have known where it went. No evidence, no crime. By just nose-diving, it makes it easier to find that evidence (like the black boxes). At the time, not a lot of pilots knew about the feature of the satellite communication unit that would allow investigators to estimate a track over the southern Indian Ocean. Without that, nobody would have known where the plane went after it left military radar range.
