"Why is the Captain theory so insisted on by many here ? Are the crew the only ones who could fly the aircraft ? Not so in 9/11.
But. This is not organised Hijack so if a Hijack at all some. Lone wolf passenger with some knowledge of aviation!
But there is no purpose to a HiJack! No destination ( a crew would not run out of fuel trying to reach somewhere which they had no chance of reaching!
A part knowledge passenger maybe !"
Agreed. All we know is that the Captain was a passionate and dedicated Airman. There is NO evidence from Malaysian authorities OR from the CIA/FBI/NSA that I am aware of, to the contrary. And the First Officer was the Son of a Senior Malaysian Government Official.
Of course, at this stage, nothing is impossible but I do think we should continue to respect the Flight crew until proven otherwise.
