Theory Briefing

  • MH370 vanished in 2014 with 239 aboard, and the deliberate-diversion theory points to the pilot as the architect of the disappearance.
  • A captain holds near-absolute authority in the cockpit — the principal-agent problem at its most extreme when that agent turns rogue.
  • The case exposes how insider threats defeat security systems designed only to stop outsiders, leaving institutions structurally blind to betrayal from within.
