Is Zaharie Ahmad Shah Alive – Was the pilot found?
MH370 (Malaysia Airlines Flight 370) was a Boeing 777-200ER international passenger aircraft controlled by Malaysia Airlines.
On March 8, 2014, MH370 mysteriously disappeared an hour into its flight over the Indian Ocean. The Boeing 777 was on its regular flight routine from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
In its regular flight path, the plane took an unexpected turn and got traced on military radar on the Malacca Strait and then lost all contacts.
The plane was carrying a total of 239 people which included pilot Captain Shah and 27-year-old co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, 10 working crew, and 227 passengers.

The pilot of MH370 had planned his flight path carefully to avoid leaving clues. Sources say he had locked the co-pilot out of the cockpit before taking a turn and flew the plane until the fuel was completely emptied resulting in it plunging under the ocean. It was a mass murder attempted by the pilot.
Authorities in Malaysia confirmed the tracking device of the plane was switched off in the cockpit.
So, Zaharie Ahmad Shah isn’t alive neither are the 238 people on the plane. Authorities have searched his home in the Shah Alam neighborhood of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They found out about his psychological profile and looked into his family and connections. However, the pilot of 370 was never to be found.
The last automated position was reported at 01:07 am and at 01:19 am air traffic controllers received the last voice transmission from the cockpit saying “Goodnight Malaysian 370.”
9 years ago this was one of the most puzzling aviation tragedies to this day. It left many unanswered questions behind with grief for thousands of families.
