A London newspaper is claiming that Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 was crashed into the southern Indian Ocean on "an apparent suicide mission".  It comes after Malaysia’s Prime Minister announced that the flight "ended" in the ocean and everyone on the missing Boeing 777-200ER is dead.

London’s Daily Telegraph reports its sources say that investigators do not believe that a malfunction or fire could have caused the strange turns and altitude changes that they believe the plane took after it deviated from its scheduled Kuala Lumpur to Beijing run early in the morning on 8 March.  The paper doesn’t speculate on a motive, terrorism, or mental illness, but rather its sources say that the facts on hand do not “hinge together” to suggest a plane malfunction or fire.

Earlier, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak declared his country’s position that the plane may be missing, but no one could have survived.  He’s citing an analysis by the British satellite company Inmarsat and the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).

"Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth," Razak said.  "This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

This is not a random guess.  Inmarsat used a new type of analysis of the eight hourly satellite “pings” sent by the aircraft after it vanished from radar screens.  The company and the AAIB believe this is accurate to within 100 miles (161 Kilometers) of either side of the southern arc the plane was believed to have followed into the Indian Ocean. 

"All we believe we can do is to say that we believe it is in this general location, but we cannot give you the final few feet and inches where it landed," said Inmarsat’s senior vice-president Chris McLaughlin.
