Fact: There was no mysterious phone call from an illegal phone. Malaysian investigators are on record denying this report.
Fact: Zaharie Ahmad Shah was as political as the average American who believes strongly in a candidate and who volunteers as a canvasser or as a get out the vote activist. In other words, his politics and his involvement were as mainstream plain vanilla as it gets in a country where opposition is fairly to very difficult to undertake.
Fact: The opposition leader who was once again convicted that day was also released on bail. There was nothing unexpected in the verdict. It was the second or third time the ruling party had effectively taken out this leader via the court system. Zaharie Ahmad Shah may well have been angry. But surprised? No. Pushed to a breaking point? Ridiculous.
Fact: Shah's children are grown up. His wife did not leave him " taking the children."
Fact: The FBI has said no files were deleted on Shah's simulator. Some Some files were overwritten by the system. Nothing even slightly out of order was found in his computer files either.
Not a fact: Shah's marital status. Only rumors are out there. His wife typically left when he was away flying.
Fact: She does not believe he committed suicide. Neither do his "children" believe this.
I come to this board to read factual reasoning of what might or might not happened. If you're discussing pilot culpability please at least keep to the facts.
