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.

Agreed, but just look at the Germanwings flight a year later in which the copilot did exactly that in the Alps. One could say the same about most of the mass shootings - the only reason for doing it was "because they could".
OTOH read Larry Niven's "All the Myriad Ways"; if people really believe in the multiverse, and any decision one makes spawns other universes in which one did the exact opposite and a zillion choices in between, then people might start doing stupid things just on impulse, without even saying "hold my beer and watch this".
