The disappearance of flight MH370 connecting Kuala Lumpur to Beijing is one of the greatest mysteries of civil aviation. On March 8, 2014, the flight disappears from the radar screens. On board the aircraft, 239 people. Despite research in the Indian Ocean, the wreck of the Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines has never been found. In their column, our colleagues from the French daily Le Parisien reveal that the French investigators had access to the file and it seems that the thesis of the suicide of the pilot is privileged in the investigation.

When the Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines crashed in the Indian Ocean, there was someone at the controls of the aircraft. According to the daily newspaper Le Parisien , the pilot was in command of the aircraft until his disappearance.

In circles very close to investigations, the captain's suicide thesis is the most plausible. A few minutes before the plane disappears from the radar screens, some abnormal turns have been made, a maneuver that can only be performed by manual steering.

Although it is too early to say categorically that it is the pilot who was in charge, the investigators prefer this track. The profile of the captain was closely examined. But Zaharie Ahmad Shah , a 53-year-old pilot, does not seem to have a suicidal profile. The terrorist trail was also searched. For the moment, no element likely to confirm this thesis has been found.

Only France is still investigating this mystery of civil aviation. France is competent because three nationals were aboard the plane. Ghyslain Wattrelos, who lost his wife and two of his children in the crash, and his lawyer, Maître Marie Dosé, were received at the Paris court to take stock of the recent progress of the investigation, because there is a little more one month magistrates and investigators were able to audition experts Boeing.

Boeing's experts responded precisely to the questions of the investigating magistrates and, above all, gave the magistrates the raw Inmarsat data we had been waiting for for a very long time. We will be able to understand a little better what happened at the level of the trajectory of the plane ...
