Nearly a year after the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 went missing and after hundreds of outlandish conspiracy theories did their rounds on the Internet explaining its disappearance, a science author has come up with an extraordinary theory, claiming the jumbo jet was 'stolen' on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
MH370 was 'stolen' on the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin, claims a US science writer.Reuters
Jeff Wish, a US-based science writer, who was also part of the CNN team during its vast coverage when MH370 mysteriously vanished into thin air last year, has based his bizarre theory on pings that the plane emitted for seven hours after the jet veered off its course; the pings were recorded by British telecom company Inmarsat.
In an article in New York Magazine, the writer claims that hijackers, who were possibly inside the plane – and were Russians – 'spoofed' the plane's navigation data to make it appear as if flight MH370 went in a particular direction, though, in fact, the jet was flown to Baikonur Cosmodrome, a high profile operational space launch facility leased by the Kazakh government to Russia till 2050.
