| Flight MH370 pilot planned suicide, report claims
Investigators have concluded that the pilot of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 deliberately crashed the plane into the Indian Ocean, killing all 239 people on board.
The report, which was released by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), found that the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, had carefully planned the crash. He had disabled the plane's communication systems and turned off its transponder, making it almost impossible to track.
The report also found that Shah had flown the plane in a way that was consistent with a deliberate suicide. He had flown the plane in a series of circles before turning it towards the ocean.
The findings of the report are a major breakthrough in the investigation into the disappearance of Flight MH370. They provide the first concrete evidence that the plane was deliberately crashed.
The report is a devastating blow to the families of the victims of Flight MH370. It confirms their worst fears that the plane was deliberately crashed.
However, the report also provides some closure for the families. It gives them a definitive answer to the question of what happened to their loved ones.
