Topic: Cargo Fire

A cargo fire involving 221 kilograms of lithium-ion batteries is proposed as the catalyst for the MH370 emergency. Witnesses, including an oil rig worker and local fishermen, reported seeing a burning plane flying at low altitudes, which suggests a depressurization event and an attempt to reach Penang or Langkawi International Airport. The theory suggests the pilot was attempting to save the passengers by flying below 10,000 feet before the plane headed toward the Nicobar Islands.
