Thank you Megyn for all your efforts throughout the summer hot crime week. Such informative interviews.

I am an RN and I worked on a hospital floor in a pulmonary unit during Covid. I am not an expert in hypoxia. But, during Covid, I would have an alert from a patient’s continuous pulse oximeter that their oxygen was abnormally low. When I would go into the patient’s room, most of the time they would not be struggling to breath or show any evidence of the low oxygen level. We would have them turn prone (onto their abdomen) and their levels would usually quickly return to normal. But I was always struck by the fact that they did not even seem to notice that their oxygen levels were low. They were not pressing the call light for us to help; we wouldn’t have known there was a problem if they were not on monitors which alerted. So, it does seem possible that the people on the flight did not notice anything was wrong until it was too late.

I want to say thank you to Mr. Langewiesche. I had two family members on Egypt Air 990 on Oct 31, 1999 that was also taken down by a deliberate act of the co-pilot. There was a lot of obfuscation during the aftermath and investigation and a lot of non-cooperation from the Egyptian officials who believed it was "impossible" for a pilot of theirs to have done this. If it weren't for an incisive, compelling, and in-depth piece in The Atlantic a month or so later, so many of us who lost loved ones on that flight would *still* be in the dark, almost 25 years later. I still have that magazine with that article and I'm forever grateful for Mr. Langewiesche's tireless efforts to uncover truth in these unspeakable incidents. You have my attention and my thanks, always.

I’m so happy you’re covering this case. It’s intrigued me since it happened. Your guest was great, and I finally understand it a bit more. It’s been a great week of shows

I’ve been a professional pilot for almost 40 years. The Netflix special was a total joke. For some of us, what happened was obvious.

Man I love these Megyn Kelly videos, the absolute best!

Airplane cockpit door NEEDS new design. The pilot and co-pilot, both should be able to open the door from outside, via special key, finger print, face recognition or something. The chance for both pilots want to suicide is extremely rare.

I am glad this topic has been brought up again. We cannot allow that tragic deaths of civilians get brushed under the rug like this by several governments

Hey its day 5, and I'm in!😊 loved this week. She is so creative. Deeply moving and I had to revisit old pains, I can't always watch true crime all the time now. Love this show. Love the break from politics. Megyn Kelly does a great job with true crime.😊 this one ? Riveting. A compulsive watch, I could not look away. Haunting. Chilling. Megyn's face and composure said it all, unsettling, disturbing.

As a pilot I really appreciate seeing someone like William Langewiesche who is knowledgeable about aviation and can clearly explain the evidence for what happened to this flight. I had not paid much attention to most of the previous coverage because it was so obviously sensationalized and based mostly on ignorance and wild speculation. There is a whole planeload of people who died tragically and who don't deserve to be used as clickbait for yet another lurid conspiracy theory. Congratulations to Megyn Kelly for finding the right person to interview to get a sober explanation of what happened. As he repeatedly pointed out, what happened is more easily understood than the reasons and motivations will ever be.

Fascinating week of crime coverage! (And a nice break from political news).... Thank you, Megyn.

Wow....The ending with the guest sharing his flight experiences was the most fascinating. Could have listened to him on these topics for another 2 hours!

Sometimes the answers are starring you right in the face.Your guest was very credible.Thanks for this podcast.

This is heartbreaking. If the pilot wanted to kill himself why did he take 200 people with him? So tragic.

I’ve seen every news story and documentary about this and it’s been driving me crazy for years. Thanks for addressing this MK.

The sister of one of my students was the co pilot on a Lear jet, carrying a golf pro. It was a jet which seemed to have quickly depressurized, as your expert said, and all fell asleep and died. My student told me she and her family were assured their precious and brilliant loved one did not suffer. The plane went from south Florida to South Dakota, where it crashed, harming nobody.

This was my favorite Crime Special Megyn!!! I have always been interested in this story.

SO so fascinating! I absolutely love when you do true crime mystery weeks. Thank you Megyn!

I don’t understand this guy. You fully believe this was a murder suicide by the pilot, but your not interested in the motive ???

I find it very aggravating that this guest would not share more information about why he believes the pilot was mentally unstable and deeply unhappy or depressed in the weeks before the plane went down. He said oh I know more details but I'm not going to get into it. Megyn should have seriously pressed him more. He needs to back up his claims with the information that he knows!

I'm so glad 2x speed is an option for playback. This guy speaks so slow. Painful.

I'm such a fan of your regular content but I'm loving this crime stuff this week!

This interview once again, reflects your vast range of interests, passion, versatility, and skill at delving to the bottom, the essence of the topic at hand. It should not be ignored that your choice of guests, in other words, your keen judgment at bringing to your audience the best and brightest minds on the topic …shows why you’re at the top of your game and the industry.

Why the Malaysian air controllers didn't track this rogue airplane was EXACTLY the same as how US air defense was "asleep" during the tragedy of 9/11.

Love Summer Hot Crime Week! You always pick such great crimes.

I just love your podcasts!! You're absolutely amazing ❤

Megan, I love these true crime specials you’re doing, don’t stop!

I am a Malaysian and some part of this interview is not what we have seen/heard in many other interviews. The initial search happened in South China Sea because that was the information available at that time. It was a fast developing situation. Till today no one knows what actually happened. So many versions of what happened has floated around. But nothing much has been found. For the sake of those who are still grieving for their loved ones, we should not speculate. Common sense should prevail.

Pretty sure you won't get to the bottom of this with this guy, but you've asked a very good question: "what about the Chinese (fact that the majority of the passengers were Chinese)....why didn't the Chinese Govt put their foot down...?" The key to solve the mysteries is right in this question!! He's too technical and putting too much emphasis on the pilot that he's totally missing THE point.

There was some talk about the plane being forced down on Diego Garcia. They said that the Chinese onboard were a bunch of calligraphers! I remember, years ago when I was young and foolish, flying on a Fokker Friendship down to Milne Bay in PNG. I recall the pilot's cabin door flying open as we nose-dived through turbulence. His elbows were askew as he grappled with the controls. What fun! We didn't feel a thing. Oh the joys of being young. Needless to say, we survived. Now at 78 I would be terrified. I recall the air hostess strapping herself into the first available seat she could find, never losing the smile on her face. The pilot's name was Capt Forgan-Smith. My husband taught his daughter Judo.

Love the unsolved mysteries this week. Reminded me of the case of Valerie Percy in Chicago many years ago. Her twin sister is Sharon Percy Rockefeller and her father was a senator from Illinois. She was abducted from her bed and brutalized. They have never solved the case. It would be interesting if you looked into it. Thanks for all you do! I love your podcast.

That was very disturbing, how a man can do something like that is unbelievable. Good job on this one as always Megyn.

I know someone who was living in Malaysia at the time of this event and they said that 'everyone knew' in Malaysia that this was a politically motivated act by the Captain in protest to events happening in that current government.She was adamant that it was very clear to the Malaysians what happened and the motivations...and that the government knew also - but that is all I can tell you.

The question that always comes to mind for me is if one of the pilots was going to commit murder/suicide, why go to such great lengths to do it? If the PIC was able to get the non flying pilot out of the cockpit and lock him out or otherwise incapacitate him he could just have pointed the nose straight down and been done with it. Why would he fly for so many hours and ultimately end up with the same outcome? I hope that sometime in our lifetime we get real answers to this horrible mystery, we’ll probably get answers to what happened but not why.

Hi from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Megyn. Really enjoy your shows - another good one ⭐️

Good topic and I realize your guest is an expert and also not a presenter but, I found super frustrating to listen to. Stilted hesitant and over concerned that the audience won’t understand something technical. Loved the rest of the weeks crime series shows!

No offense to this seemingly very kind & knowledgeable man, but it's too difficult to listen to people who don't speak fluently. As someone whose brain doesn't focus fluently, I end up having to read the transcripts with guests like these 😕

What a fantastic interview. Thanks to you both and enjoy your holiday.

what an amazing segment. thanks. I remember this happening and it is very hard to know that we will likely never get an answer. I hope some good came out of this tragedy-for example-more attention to the health and mental wellbeing of the pilot. These tragedies are a reminder that we have to do all we can to guarantee air safety, meaning keep standards high and implement checks and balances to detect problems.

The aircraft was actually tracked by Thai military radar from when it made its first turn to when it cleared the top of Indonesia (see rough map at 7:01 ). The kicker though was that the plane kept just a whisker within Malay airspace whilst in the Thai-Malay radar overlap zone and later made a turn that kept it right on the border of the Thai-Indonesia radar overlap as well. As an uncommunicative aircraft would have been challenged, the aircraft essentially threaded the eye of the needle where it wouldn't be challenged by the Thais as they would very reasonably assume that the aircraft was talking to Malaysian ATC which then handed it to Indonesian ATC. Meanwhile, when the Indonesians first saw it, they would see that it would have been under Thai radar coverage before this and by remaining exactly on the border and never making any movement indicating it had any intention of crossing over Sumatra, would assume that the plane was under Thai radar communication/jurisdiction. In other words, there was no way this was a freakish accident on auto-pilot. This plane was very precisely navigated and piloted by someone who knew exactly what they were doing to avoid arousing suspicion with the Thais and Indonesians. As to why a plane flying across Malaysia (after the U-Turn) with no transponder and no flight plan filed was never challenged by the Malaysians, you've got to ask them, but the Pilot was Malaysian himself, maybe he knew the state of competence of his own radar and ATC and was only worried about how neighboring countries might respond as he didn't know them.

Speaking of turbulence, it reminded me of a time when I had flown out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the passenger seated next to me was an LA Times reporter who had been in Africa covering a story on women’s rights. She was terrified of the extreme turbulence and I had to reassure her that it was very normal for that airport/area, and I was a great comfort to her. But it’s very disturbing when passengers are making all sorts of weird noises, and that freaks me out more than the turbulence!

Not without a reason Megyn Kelly has been voted amongst the 100 most influential people of the world. The best interviewer ever, as well as the best presentation of this very mystery - and believe me, I have seen a lot of them. And max Kudos to the investigator, Mr Langewiesche!!!

I hate flying too. It was actually good to hear those last comments, because turbulence has quite often turned me green! I think it’s the fact that I’m not driving the thing that I find most unnerving--and I’ve never been consoled by that ‘planes rarely crash,’ or ‘it’s safer than riding a bus.’ My response to that was then, “yeah, but can you walk away from a plane crash?!”

I like you venturing into true crime mysteries. This was a really interesting episode. Enjoyed the guest.

Turbulence doesn’t worry me, it’s the fact that someone else is in complete control of my life and there is virtually nothing you can do about it if something goes wrong. That’s my reason behind my fear of flying.

Megyn, you are slaying it with all your topics!

TQ Megyn... Very Tragic n Still Missing... It's good to have these information... Love all your Topics... 👍💖

I’m loving your new true crime videos bringing in specialists. 👍🏼

Wonderful guest and presentation thank you Megyn and have a good mini break.

I’ve followed this MH370 mystery since it first happened. Since very early on, the most plausible explanation was a pilot suicide/mass murder. It’s the only scenario that fits all the evidence. This interview revealed a few more granular details that only reinforce the possibility it was the pilot gone rogue, especially some of the details about the flight simulator data and the true mental state of Captain Zahari. I absolutely agree that Zahari was experiencing a severe midlife crisis involving his marriage breakdown and the rejection from the KZfaq twins and Zahari’s mistress who had also rejected him. Zahari was probably a narcissist who decided he wanted to create a mystery similar to Amelia Earhart, Glenn Miller and Flight 19. I would have been interested to hear about the viability of WSPR technology to locate the aircraft. I do think they should try one more time to search for the debris on the ocean floor. It’s already been nearly 10 years, and as more time goes by, the ocean will eventually wipe out any remaining evidence (if it already hasn’t done so).

That was refreshing and reassuring. If I or my loved ones go missing in an aircraft, I want this guy investigating.

He flew it to a place that he thought it never be found. And if it's never never found you can't say 100% if he did it or not.

This is so scary. I couldn't imagine being in a situation like this. This is exactly why I will never be on a plane. You never know what could happen...

Congratulations on your Pod Cast. I admire you. You never stopped. You stuck to your guns. Im from NJ and my Aunt whom is now deceased was the first woman in 250 years to be elected as County Clerk of New Jersey for years. No matter what hurdle was in her way (man or woman) if it was not right, it was not right. She was also hard into Politics. She just never looked defeated and either do you. You are a wonderful role model for young woman. 😊

Regardless of motive, Where is the plane?

All the pieces of evidence could be accurate but the conclusion of what happened and why could be wrong. Finding that plane would be a big piece to solving this mystery. We probably will never know since at this point there is more speculation theories than facts.

Sheesh Utube slapped a “context” label on this. Such a great show and informative series this week.

EVERYONE GIVE A 👍 FOR MEGYN

Thank you for the great show as usual and have a great vacation, will miss you in the meantime, we see you when you get back. love your show

Fantastic podcast ... really enjoyed it !

I remember reading Mr. Langewiesche’s excellent article in the Atlantic 3 years ago. It must be frustrating for a knowledgeable person like him to have to dignify those recent Netflix conspiracy theories with a debunking. I’m happy to see the Netflix series absolutely reviled in user reviews. Hard to understand what motivates people to fill the world with false information. It’s a form of pollution. Good interview Megyn.

This is most fascinating, compelling. William is exceptional. Thank you for doing this interview. I often think about this flight tragedy as it was so horrifying.

Someone should ask AI for it's theory.

Never heard of this until now. Thanks Megyn!

I take most Netflix documentaries with a grain of salt.

Why does no one talk about the part in the Netflix documentary were a phone call was made from a passenger on the flight?!?!??? Supposedly the person receiving the call did not answer right away. Instead held the phone while it was ringing and said “what do i do” or something like that and by the time they did answer it was too late. No one was there and no message was left……..

If the military has a matrix of underwater hydrophones in every ocean, how come they didn't notice MH370, plane or parts, entering the water at high velocity ?

This was an excellent program. Thank you.

Another great guest and facinating show .. I have always believed the pilot had something to do with the plane going down. Made the most sense.

Perhaps this guy would think finding the plane mattered if he had a loved one on board. What a cold thing to say. Those families who lost loved ones suffer not knowing where they are every single day.

This story has always been a mystery and wildly interesting to me.

This was as fascinating as it was terrifying. Thank you so much for bringing us this information.

Best quote of the story- Don Lemon said Maybe it was a Black Hole. 😂

The airlines should have very regular psychological and Health testing of pilots. I don't agree that it's impossible to project if the journalist found these things after. They should be able to find "markers" before.

This was absolutely fascinating! Great interview! BTW- a friend told my daughter to think of turbulence as a bowl of jello. You can put the plane in jello, if you shake it, it will shake a little, but it won’t sink. Great way to think about it!

Simply, WOW !!! Finally, an expert that brings clarity to one’s tired brain: to know and understand, such a mysterious tragedy. A sincere: thank you!

This gentleman knows a lot, but he could have done a better job of preparing and reviewing his material for this interview.

25 yrs in Airlines and I’ve never known a fellow pilot have a flight simulator like the one he had in his house. That raised a flag for me. Im not suggesting anything. But that was quite bizarre

Very interesting and enjoyable interview

Loved this. Thank you!

So refreshing to listen to a journalist who is not a crazy conspiracy, theorist podcast KZfaqr… Thank God for the New York Times… I think I speak for a lot of people who have hit Peak conspiracy theory- more experts, less amateurs

The pilot didn't use his simulator to plan. He was fantasizing about what it would be like to kill himself that way. And he didn't want the plane to be found and all he had to do was send the plane way off course into the ocean after turning off the transponder which would normally leave searchers looking in the wrong place. He probably didn't want the shame of people knowing he committed suicide.

thank you for this interview, very insightful. I think we finally have the answer

Such a great deep dive - thank you!

Until the plane has been found, we will never know what really happened. Great interview. Like you Megyn Kelly, I shared the unfulfilled desire to know what exactly happened. My research had led me to the same uptake as your guest, maybe a year ago now. Fortunately people have not let up on continuing the search and this is one big word of praise to all of those who continue to push for the truth, especially those Australians involved in aviation and the respective government agencies that have supported them. To hear of firsthand tales of experience in the flying world is fascinating, like the different political attitudes and scratching below the surface of these countries has me intrigued. I wonder if your guest got paid danger money doing that article on the most unsafe Airlines in the world?

This was a great interview. He’s a very interesting guest. I like how logical he is. I’m going to try not to cry and lose my mind next time during turbulence. 😆

I really enjoyed this one thank you

Some thing I find hard to believe is that the cabin door could not be forced from the passenger side , and why no crew member or passenger could not make any phone call.

A UStechnology co. [freescale semiconductor] had 20snr staff on board MH370. They had just launched a new electronic gadget [for military radar systems]. Of the 20 onboard therewere 12 Malaysian and 8 chinese nationals. F[reescale is owned by blkStone]. The plane flew over the Maldives and was seen by some travellers in the night sky. Rumour is that the plane landed at [DeigoGarcia]a[USmilitaryBase], which is in the middle of the IndianOc3an🤷🏼‍♀️...

I think another possibility is that the pilot locked the co-pilot out of the cockpit, depressurised the plane, put it on auto-pilot while he was still conscious, and was dead (along with the rest of the passengers) five hours before the plane crashed into the ocean.

Enjoyed this week of excellent and interesting podcasts. Have a wonderful vacation, Megyn! You certainly deserve it!

My guess is that Shah had a grudge against Malaysian Airlines and maybe China in general. He flew south to ditch the plane so that MA could not find it easily. There's no research on what flights he had before MH370. What was the passenger makeup of those flights? Shah's general history of his relationship with Malaysian Airlines should be investigated.

Assuming it was the pilot, it seems to me his plan was to disappear without a trace before the sharp turn and not be blamed. I wish the guest offered his thoughts on that.

There is utterly zero evidence either of the pilots were unstable. Just sayin.

Excellent episode.

Please please please cover the compelling case of Courtney Goody. She is the Idaho woman charged with poisoning her husband and some of his family members (fortunately no one died). Nate Eaton of East Idaho News has a video on KZfaq. Trial starts June 21. Thank you! Love your videos!

discuss the passengers on board and if anyone would wish to have their... expertise

For him to say our military or government wouldn’t couldn’t is LAUGHABLE.

I appreciated this presentation very much. Your guest’s expertise is incredible, but love that I can tell my friends and family that they needn’t worry about flight turbulence. I have never been frightened during any, rather I thought it was fun. My husband was scared to death. Once we had our drinks and he tried to pick his up to prevent it from spilling, but the liquid went everywhere. I left mine sitting on the tray table and I didn’t lose a drop. 😂

Great, great interview! Thank you!
