MH370: WHAT THE EVIDENCE REALLY SHOWSWhen Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished in 2014, it became the most enduring mystery in modern aviation. Today we sit down with Christine Negroni, a veteran aviation journalist, investigator, and author of The Crash Detectives.Christine Negroni challenges the dominant pilot-suicide narrative and presents a compelling alternative: hypoxia caused by cockpit depressurization.In this interview, we discuss:• Oxygen Servicing & Mechanical Failures - How routine oxygen-bottle work in Kuala Lumpur may have triggered a sudden depressurization or fire.• Hypoxia & Crew Incapacitation - Why severe oxygen loss produces confusion and erratic actions rather than deliberate sabotage.• Debunking Pilot Suicide - Why the home-simulator data was widely misinterpreted and how MH370 fundamentally differs from intentional crashes such as Germanwings 9525.• Historical Parallels & Flight Path - Key similarities to Helios Airways Flight 522 and how an incapacitated pilot explains the final turn into the southern Indian Ocean.• Black Box Evidence – What the Flight Data Recorder could reveal about hypoxia.✅ Get Christine’s Books on Amazon (Available in Kindle, paperback, and audio formats, including international sites.)▸ "The Crash Detectives”: https://shorturl.at/20izx▸ "Deadly Departure”: https://shorturl.at/pruYx🎁 FREE AUDIOBOOK GIVEAWAY (20 Available): Deadly Departure Revised Edition To claim one of 20 free copies of Christine's audio book, email us at: [email protected].
