Part two of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Sean, Jorge, and Eric, explore the myriad theories that attempt to unravel the mystery of the vanished aircraft. This episode focuses on dissecting the various hypotheses surrounding the events of March 8, 2014, when MH370 lost contact and disappeared with 239 people on board.
The episode opens with a discussion of the hypoxia event theory, a leading explanation that suggests a sudden lack of oxygen incapacitated everyone on board, leaving the aircraft to fly on autopilot until it ran out of fuel and crashed into the Indian Ocean. The Boys explain how a failure in cabin pressurization could lead to such a scenario, emphasizing the aircraft's continued flight on a seemingly controlled path as per the data provided by Inmarsat's satellite pings.
From there, the narrative shifts to other possibilities that have captured the imagination and scrutiny of the world. The Boys consider the chilling notion of pilot suicide, discussing the intense scrutiny on Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, whose personal life and professional expertise became focal points of speculation. They discuss the lack of conclusive evidence linking him to a deliberate act, despite the discovery of a simulated flight path on his home flight simulator that intriguingly mirrored MH370’s presumed route.
Next, they tackle the more unconventional and controversial theories, such as cyber hijacking, where experts speculate that external hackers could have remotely commandeered the aircraft's systems. The theory of a state-sponsored interception is also examined, alongside the outlandish and widely dismissed notion of alien abduction, which, while not supported by evidence, reflects the global fascination and myriad of questions that still surround the flight’s disappearance.
