A former French airline boss says there was a cover-up in the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Flight MH370 earlier this year, stating that the aircraft was likely hijacked and possibly shot down by the US. Marc Dugain, who is the former head of Proteus Airlines and a well-known author, presented his theory in an article published in the French weekly, Paris Match, the digital news publisher, TheLocal.fr, reported on Friday. Based on witness reports, Dugain is convinced the Malaysian Airlines passenger plane crashed near the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia, a British territory encompassing a military base leased to the US. Dugain also believes that the plane might have been hijacked by remote control and steered toward Diego Garcia, arguing that this is possible with the Boeing technology the aircraft was using. He states the plane was then shot down by the US, as it feared an attack against military base on the island. One of the author’s main arguments for his theory is based on the fact that he sees it nearly impossible that the US “equipped with the best technology in the world” could have lost track of a 63-meter-long object.” “It’s an extremely powerful military base. It’s surprising that the Americans have lost all trace of this aircraft,” said Dugain, adding, “It is a possibility that the Americans stopped this plane.”
