MH370 went missing on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and the 239 people on board were never seen again. Not only is it unknown where the plane ended up, it is unclear what actually happened to cause the disappearance. It has not been determined whether the jet was hijacked by terrorists, whether the pilot went on a suicide mission or even if there was a fault with the plane, although some theories have more credence than others.
In his 2015 book ‘The Plane That Wasn’t There’, Jeff Wise said the only narrative that seems to make sense was one of a hijacking gone wrong.
He said: “Some of the commenters on my blog suggested that the incident might have been a hijacking attempt that went wrong, and after a sequence of unfortunate events the plane wound up flying south on autopilot with everyone on board already dead or incapacitated.
“It was the only version that really added up as far as I was concerned, yet it seemed complicated and far-fetched."
Mr Wise indicated that this theory makes sense to him mostly because there were such huge holes in the others.
