Just to elaborate a bit...
Most of the existing theories are all based on a tunnel vision view of what happened, thus all of the 'most probable' search locations are a direct
outfall of this tunnel vision. The basic assumption is that MH 370 wasn't under control of the pilots after it left the South China Sea. I don't
believe this was the case, and I also believe this can be proven (someday). I call it the "Left Turn Theory". You could also call it the "Right AND
Left turn theory" (but the left turn is much more difficult to describe. A prominent moderator here and I have debated this theory for years. It
basically goes like this...
There are a number of things which can be explained about MH370, but here's (3) things which can't:
1. It took intelligent control to choose the route crossing back over Malaysia and Thailand. No coincidence would have the plane fly right along the
border between the two countries (which it did).
2. Then we get to the first big item. Somewhere after Penang MH370 made a right turn. Some argue it wasn't a "turn", but rather a 'drift'. Okay,
but it's awful curious this 'drift' was just enough to skirt western Indonesian airspace.
3. Lastly, and biggest of all; once MH370 was out of range of Indonesian radar they made a left turn to head south out over the Indian Ocean. This
was a conscious maneuver, meaning someone was "flying" (controlling) the plane at this point. Somewhere some government has military data which
proves this. The Straights of Malacca are some of the most heavily monitored air and sea space in all of Asia.
At any rate, the current theories are based on INMARSAT data which was picking up signals from the Rolls Royce engines. The theories are all based on
the notion that no one was at the controls and MH370 had been on autopilot for hours by this time. Hence, the search locations are all off of western
Australia.
Another problem is, most of the theories assume all the passengers and likely the crew were dead by this point. But they didn't have to be. No one
aboard would have had any idea where they were flying that night. All they would have known was they were on a plane at night. Zahari could have
locked the flight deck door and not said a thing and no one would have known any different, nor would they have known the co-pilot was dead.
Consequently, if the "Left Turn" theory is valid, then we can conclude that Zahari was in control. Thus, if he was in control, he would have never
flown toward Australia. If his intentions were to fly out and ditch in the middle of the Indian Ocean, then he would have flown much further
west...approximately 2,550 miles west (or about 400-600 miles south of Diego Garcia, which would have been over the horizon for them). This much
better explains why the only recovered wreckage was found on Reunion, Mozambique, Mauritius, Madagascar and South Africa.
Lastly, if you look at the geography of western Indonesia, and the flightpath from Penang, Malaysia, you can clearly see it would have taken a very
deliberate left hand turn to get pointed anywhere over the Indian Ocean, let alone pointed to Australia.
