Five years ago, the flight vanished into the Indian Ocean. Officials on land know more about why than they dare to say.

There are a lot of technical details in the article that raise some very interesting questions.

    Its too easy to blame the MH370 air crew. I think it is just as valid to suspect the consignment of lithium-ion batteries in its cargo hold.

    Those lithium-ion batteries had to be very smart to conduct a U turn of the plane exactly at a blind spot (at least a poorly over-seen one) in the air traffic control systems, take it back over the pilot's home (Penang) and bank it there to give him a last look, then turn it south into an open ocean area with a final controlled turn.
