Theory Briefing

  • MH370 vanished with 239 people aboard, and evidence points to a deliberate act by the pilot rather than an accident.
  • The principal-agent problem is at its darkest here — the pilot held total control over lives while regulators had no real-time override.
  • Aviation's safety culture assumes human reliability, but this case exposes how insider threat can collapse even the most redundant systems.
