It's been suggested that if, as has been speculated, the Captain of MH370 had taken control of the flight and deliberately navigated it to the Southern Indian Ocean, his motivations were very different. If all you want to do is kill yourself, there are easier ways to do it. But if you want to leave behind a huge mystery and maybe cause enormous embarrassment to a government you are bitterly opposed to, then it makes sense.
Do you know why he was opposed to the government? It was their airline that employed him.
