Now, based on two slight clues, experts have a new theory about what doomed the flight: the pilot was committing suicide.
From The Washington Post:
All but one of the 239 people on the doomed Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 had probably been unconscious — incapacitated by the sudden depressurization of the Boeing 777 — and had no way of knowing they were on an hours-long, meandering path to their deaths.
Along that path, a panel of aviation experts said Sunday, was a brief but telling detour near Penang, Malaysia, the home town of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
On two occasions, whoever was in control of the plane — and was probably the only one awake — tipped the craft to the left.
The experts believe Zaharie, the plane's pilot, was taking a final look.
That is the chilling theory that the team of analysts assembled by Australia's “60 Minutes” have posited about the final hours of MH370.
They suspect that the plane's 2014 disappearance and apparent crash were a suicide by the 53-year-0ld Zaharie — and a premeditated act of mass murder.
The report goes on to say that the theory that Zaharie depressurized the plane and knocked everyone but himself out is the best explanation for why there were no distress signals. The flight went extremely far off course, which normally would have prompted a "mayday" signal.
This may be the closest anyone gets to figuring out what happened:
The wreckage has not been found, though hundreds of millions of dollars have gone into the four-year search. The secret of what happened in the final moments of the ill-fated flight — and the motive behind it all — probably died with its passengers and pilot.

That was my first thought as well.
He ran with this story ad nauseam
He even had experts on to back up his theory that the plane was swallowed by a "black hole".
Sour Lemon.
Didn't that suicider who crashed his plane in the French Alps do something similar?

It’s highly unlikely that he would have planned on attempting a soft water landing because his planning was too meticulous. He would have known that, best case, ditching with the plane intact would have left him adrift at sea in an airplane full of dead bodies. Worst case, it would have broken up on landing, probably leading to a torturous death (for him) by drowning.
Knowing the fuel slick would have been a marker buoy to the crash site, he’d have flown it until it was low on fuel, then firewalled the throttles and nosed it over to put the air speed indicator on the barber pole until impact.
Yeah, I think I heard that. Thanks for the reminder.
Take your pick.
