'Last joyride'
The pilot of doomed flight MH370 was devastated over his wife’s decision to move out of their family home, and could have taken the plane for a ‘last joyride’ before it crashed into the southern Indian Ocean killing all 239 people on board, says a long-time friend of the pilot.
The friend, also a pilot, said Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah didn’t appear to be in the right state of mind to be flying, warning that it was ‘very possible that neither the passengers nor the other crew on-board knew what was happening until it was too late’.
‘He's one of the finest pilots around and I'm no medical expert, but with all that was happening in his life Zaharie was probably in no state of mind to be flying,’ he told the NZ Herald on the condition of anonymity.
The friend said the pilot's relationships were breaking down, with Captain Shah involved with another woman and his wife having decided to move out of their family home.
He said the pilot could have seen MH370 as an opportunity to try high-risk maneuvers he'd perfected on his beloved flight simulator.
These shocking new claims follow reports that flight MH370 climbed to between 43,000 and 45,000ft shortly after the last voice communication from the cockpit of the plane.
A source, who wished to remain anonymous, told MailOnline: 'It was tracked flying at this altitude for 23 minutes before descending. Oxygen would have run out in 12 minutes [in a depressurised cabin], rendering the passengers unconscious.'...

If I cant get their with EL AL I don’t bother flying..went last year to Israel, best airline in the world..top notch..but was still terrified in the air, couldn’t wait to be on ground(Yeah let’s basically say Im NOT a good flyer) I prefer to be on solid ground.
If the story is true about the plane being at 45,000 feet for 23 minutes, the passengers are already dead..so he probably flew around trying to muster the courage to off himself
The plane is somewhere that nobody has been looking. At this point I question -all- of the facts so far reported. Did it really turn? Maybe not. Did they fly out west? Maybe not.
Did it lawn-dart into the mountain jungle of Cambodia? Maybe. Some other place? Sure. Maybe.
I think there is something -very- basic about the information we are assuming that is just plain -wrong-. All the communications. All the radar info. All the ADIS data. Everything. Something there is just wrong.
We are looking in the wrong place.
After 9-11, a friend’s wife refused to fly to her brother’s in Ireland or let their kids go with him, so he went himself. Yep, she was good with that.
He was making good progress on exactly that plan:
The friend said the pilot's relationships were breaking down, with Captain Shah involved with another woman and his wife having decided to move out of their family home.
So the wife #1 is leaving - what is there to worry about? He has a replacement on hot standby. Muslims do not rate their women exceptionally high anyway. A man can send his wife packing just by sending her three SMS with the text "I divorce you." Or he could keep both. Certainly this is not something that a Muslim would commit a mass murder for. It's not even a killing of infidels; some Chinese passengers may be fellow Muslims. The Quran forbids that.
From what I understand in the Muslim culture its a sin to commit suicide, but as long as you do it for Allah and Jihad its all good
You are using “western” logic. Remember, the captain was Malay, and “loss of face” is devastating. All of the machinations of the company and government have been dictated by this philosophy. Does Air Malaysia keep a handgun in the cabin like some U.S. carriers do now? Pilot 86s the co-pilot, heads up to fl460 which takes care of the passengers and rest of crew, sets the auto-pilot for the Roaring 40s, takes off his mask and goes to sleep. Hard to prove suicide at those depths.
Its still liable to show up on a runway in Pakistan or something.”
Agreed
It is or it isn't, and no court of law will save him if it is. If their deity is all-knowing, it doesn't matter what humans think. Even in Islam, their god will know.
I don’t think we’ll ever know what transpired. Here was a highly respected, and well-liked, very experienced pilot. His wife was stunningly beautiful, with a couple of lovely kids,,,,, and he was fooling with another woman? I guess he might have just snapped as his life fell apart around him. Who knows? Who will ever know?
This article sounds like sensationalistic B.S.
perhaps he killed himself after setting autopilot for the south pole
I still trust an airline pilot more than I trust all the lunatics and incompetents driving cars.
As for the statistics, you are 180 times more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash.
And I will bet my life on that statistic.
The bitch made ‘im do it!
The moslem pilot probably bopped the other women because moslems have a final alcohol/sex fling before going Kamikaze (just like 9-11 hijackers).
In other words, if you notice Hussein bopping Larry Sinclair ‘one last time,’ head deep underground.
Since the pilot was Muslim I doubt his wife was stupid enough to leave him the day before he flew out.
She would have left while he was gone or risk being punished per sharia law. IDK but this whole thing doesn’t ring true.
It takes time to get fake wreckage into position and load data and drop off a couple of data recorders.
“After 9-11, a friend’s...”
It’s funny you mention the numbers 9 and 11. I remember seeing on CNN that the last communication from either the pilot or the transponder was at 1:19 a.m. The last ping from the Rolls Royce engines to the INMARSAT was at 9:11 a.m.
Muzzies love the number 19 because that number as a gematria in the Koran runs throughout it.
(Gematria is an Assyro-Babylonian system of numerology later adopted by Jews which assigns numerical value to a word or phrase, in the belief that words or phrases with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other, or bear some relation to the number itself as it may apply to a person’s age, the calendar year, or the like. The best-known example of Gematria is the Hebrew word Chai (”alive”), which is composed of two letters which (using the assignments in the Mispar gadol table shown below) add up to 18. This has made 18 a “lucky number” among Jews, and gifts in multiples of 18 are very popular.[1])
Muzzies use gematria, too, in the Koran.
