The Malaysian plane MH370 has been missing for a year now and according to the recent reports in the light of the incident's first year anniversary, the crew and the pilot did not hijack the plane that carried 239 people.
According to The Sydney Morning Herald, an interim report was released on Sunday when the family and the friends of the passengers gathered in Beijing and in Kuala Lumpur. The report says that there was no evidence regarding behavioral signs of social isolation, self-neglect, druse use, alcohol abuse, and change in interests regarding the captain, the first officer, and the cabin crew to justify that the flight was hijacked by them.
The report adds that the captain of the flight, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, had not history of anxiety, irritability or apathy and was able to handle stress at home and at work very well. The same goes with the junior pilot on board during the flight identified as Fariq Abdul Hamid.
The interim report proves that Zaharie was not capable of hijacking the plane after reports of him having marital woes and was upset with the government of Malaysia.
Aside from these findings, Bloomberg Business also reported that the battery of the locator of the plane already expired back in December 2012 so this might have hindered the possibility of locating the plane.
The report was 584 pages long and was written by Chinese and Australian representatives who worked on the case. The expired battery reportedly could have worked past its expiration date but the performance already deteriorated. The plane is being searched until now in the Indian Ocean where it is believed to have crashed after hours of changing course and losing contact with control towers. The plane was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Australia's Prime Minister Tony Abbot said in a recent statement that they will continue searching for the plane and they remain highly optimistic of succeeding in finding the aircraft.
