He is convinced the plane was hijacked because of a reboot of the Satellite Data Unit (SDU) at 6.25pm, which he described as a “smoking gun”. Mr Wise has been researching the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 since it went missing on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. “Two burly men wearing breathing apparatus block the way.

He rises, stumbles, throws open the cockpit door. “The air in the cockpit is noticeable thin. “He punches in the frequency for Lumpur Radio. The co-pilot dials up the emergency frequency, 121.5. “The captain and co-pilot reach for their masks, but no air is flowing. A hull rupture? The sounds of screaming in the cabin filter through the cockpit door. Mr Wise, in a chapter titled A Speculative Scenario from his new book The Taking of MH370, writes: “Then: pandemonium. To do this, he proposes the trio used diving oxygen masks to withstand the cut-off before taking over the cabin. The CNN pundit theorises the trio flew the Malaysia Airlines plane to Kazakhstan, as part of an audacious bid to wipe Russia’s annexation of Crimea off the news radar on March 8, 2014. SIA68 flew on to Spain – and this theory suggests MH370 could have branched off and landed in one of a number of locations across Xinjiang (north-east China), Kyrgyzstan or Turkmenistan.Įxperts have said that the idea sounds “feasible”, and that even if higher-resolution military radar was monitoring SIA68 operators might have dismissed the fact that there were two objects as an technical glitch or echo.MH370 SCREAMS: The pilot would have heard chilling screams (Image: GETTY)Īviation researcher Jeff Wise believes MH370 was depressurised during a Russian hijack mission carried out by three rogue passengers. The aviation blogger Keith Ledgerwood argued that MH370 and Singapore Airlines flight 68 were in the same vicinity at the time, and said: “It became apparent as I inspected SIA68's flight path history that MH370 had manoeuvred itself directly behind SIA68 at approximately 18:00UTC and over the next 15 minutes had been following SIA68.”īy flying a short distance behind and most likely a little above the altitude of SIA68, also a Boeing 777, Ledgerwood said that it would be able to appear as a single blip on radar screens. Another theory suggests that instead of flying south, the plane flew north in the “shadow” of another airliner around half an hour to an hour after dropping off civilian radar.
