That makes sense barring any future conflicting information concerning the pilot's political leanings, or external terrorist influence in the aircraft.
Yes, interesting but not sure how common tire fires are esp involving the front landing gear. I would think most of the stress to the tires is when landing then they cool down quickly. Can't see them overheating on take off but I'm not an expert on this by any means like Astro.
edit: plus it looks like 12 tires on the rear L-gears and two on the front gear.
Plus kind of weird he says to help him spread this info on the web.
Good theory, but it's made without new knowledge of the satellite pings the plane made. unless that is bogus info. It seems to be generally accepted that the plane was making "pings" 7 hours after it took off. If it landed at that airport, it would be known; if it crashed, it likely wouldn't have made those satellite communications.
That theory makes a lot of sense, however didn't the pilot signoff and say goodnight after the power to the transponder was lost? In the event of an electrical malfunction, it would be odd that systems would start to lose power and not be noticeable.
The question marks after the description didn't help the credibility. The first pic uses the word "possibly" which doesn't sound too confident and provides an out.
Plus, imo that's a big debris field with an airplane that looks to be fairly intact and facing the wrong way. If it flipped it would be upside down facing the debris field imo.
