THE THEORIES SURROUNDING MH370

What happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may never be proven - but that hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from speculating:

1. It was shot down...

 

during a joint military exercise between the US and Thailand

2. It was hijacked...

 

for use in a terrorist spectacular on the anniversary of 9/11

3. It was switched...

 

with flight MH17, and it was actually MH370 that was shot down over Ukraine in July last year

4. It landed...

 

on Diego Garcia, a British-owned island in the Indian Ocean that is home to a major US military base

5. It was destroyed by a mysterious new 'weapon'...

 

capable of plucking planes out of the sky without a trace

6. Russia hijacked the plane...

 

under Putin’s orders and flew it to Kazakhstan

7. The reality check:

 

Experts say the reality is almost certainly more mundane - probably a carefully planned suicide and revenge attack
