The truth about MH370 is out

The first comprehensive report into the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has revealed that the battery of the locator beacon for the plane's data recorder had expired more than a year before the jet vanished on March 8, 2014. The report came as Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said the hunt for the plane would not end even if the scouring of the current search area off Australia's west coast comes up empty. Apart from the anomaly of the expired battery, the detailed report devoted pages after pages describing the complete normality of the flight, which disappeared while heading from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, setting off aviation's biggest mystery. Families of the 239 people who were on board the plane marked the anniversary of the Boeing 777's disappearance, vowing to never give up on the desperate search for wreckage and answers to what happened to their loved ones. The mysterious circumstances of the plane's disappearance have in many ways overshadowed the grieving process for the families of the victims. The trauma has been compounded by government and corporate bureaucracy and floods of media coverage. Many of those directly impacted by the disappearance of the plane have formed a group called Voice370 to speak on behalf of the families. As a group they refuse to call the victims deceased and have continued to refer to them as "missing passengers." "Despite this complete lack of wreckage found or physical evidence of a catastrophic event, the Malaysian government has officially declared that the airplane crashed, leaving no survivors, and it has ended the rescue phase of the search effort," the group said in a statement issued to the press on Friday. "We do not accept this finding and we will not give up hope until we have definitive proof of what happened to MH370." Here's how I see it: it was sabotage. Somebody working for the airline probably had some grievance and armed with the knowledge of an expired battery in the locator beacon, claimed to have replaced it and from there, it was just a matter of planning for the plane's eventual demise. Unless, of course, ISIS had something to do with it.
