>>1596176>Possibly to seek asylum?It is a possibility, but is Malaysia really a place where you'd need to seek asylum in a western country from? As far as I know they're only ultra strict when it comes to drug smuggling.
Also, assuming he did try to seek asylum, what happened to the first officer? Was he in on it?
>what made the southern zone more probable than this northern area?The satellite handshake doesn't give you the exact location, it only gives you a radius where the plane could have been. I don't remember the specifics, but I think at the time they believed it flew on autopilot in a straight line from the last known location, which gives you this more southern area.
