iLMu2lautan – Seorang bekas Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif syarikat penerbangan Perancis Marc Dugain yang mendakwa bahawa Amerika Syarikat mungkin telah menembak jatuh penerbangan Malaysia Airlines MH370 & kemudian menutupinya sehingga, menambah ruam teori yang bercanggah mengenai pesawat hilang itu.
Dalam artikel 6 muka surat yg diterbitkan oleh ‘French weekly Paris Match’, Dugain mendakwa bahawa Boeing 777 boleh telah mendapat masalah dan kerana ia telah menghampiri pangkalan tentera Amerika Syarikat di wilayah British Diego Garcia di Lautan Hindi, ia telah ditembak jatuh. Tentera Amerika Syarikat mungkin takut pesawat itu cuba serangan 9/11 gaya di pangkalan, berkata Dugain.
"Ia merupakan satu pangkalan tentera yang sangat kuat. Ia mengejutkan bahawa Amerika telah kehilangan semua surih pesawat ini. Tanpa mendapat ke dalam teori konspirasi, ia adalah kemungkinan bahawa Amerika menghentikan kapal terbang ini, "kata Dugain, laman web bahasa Inggeris The tempatan melaporkan ‘reported’ Jumaat.
Dugain berkata terdapat saksi di Maldives, pulau-pulau yang berhampiran dengan Diego Garcia kira-kira 500 kilometer ke utara, yang mendakwa telah melihat "pesawat besar terbang pada ketinggian yang benar-benar rendah" dengan warna Malaysia Airlines terbang ke arah Diego Garcia.
MH370 was 'Shot down by US military', CLAIMS
former FREACH Airline BOSS . . .
A former French airline CEO Marc Dugain claims that the US may have shot down Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 and then covered it up, adding to a rash of conflicting theories about the missing plane.
In a six-page article published by French weekly Paris Match, Dugain claims that the Boeing 777 may have got into trouble and as it was approaching the US military base on the British territory of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, it was shot down. US forces may have feared the plane was attempting a 9/11 style attack on the base, Dugain said.
“It’s an extremely powerful military base. It’s surprising that the Americans have lost all trace of this aircraft. Without getting into conspiracy theories, it is a possibility that the Americans stopped this plane,”Dugain said, English-language website The Local reported Friday.
Dugain said there were witness in the Maldives, the nearest islands to Diego Garcia about 500 kilometers to the north, who claim to have seen a “huge plane flying at a really low altitude” with Malaysian Airlines colors flying toward Diego Garcia.

Pada bulan Ogos, UK Daily Mirror yg melaporkan bahawa MH370 telah menuju Lautan Hindi kecil atol di Diego Garcia, tetapi Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Kuala Lumpur menafikan ini. Jurucakap Kedutaan Amerika Syarikat di Malaysia kepada akhbar tempatan Star pd masa itu bahawa terdapat "tiada petunjuk bahwa MH370 terbang mana-mana sahaja berhampiran Maldives atau Diego Garcia."
Beliau menambah: "MH370 tidak mendarat di Diego Garcia."

Dugain menulis bahawa pesawat, yang hilang pada 8 Mac dengan 239 orang di atas kapal, manakala dalam penerbangan berjadual dari Kuala Lumpur ke Beijing, dapat dirampas dari jauh dan kemudian dipandu ke arah Diego Garcia.
Penjelasan lain, beliau berkata, adalah bahawa kebakaran di atas kapal terpaksa anak-anak kapal untuk mematikan semua merangka elektronik tanpa merosakkan bahagian luar pesawat, membenarkan ia untuk terus secara autopilot dengan semua orang di atas kapal asphyxiated.
In August, the UK Daily Mirror reported that the MH370 was heading for the tiny Indian Ocean atoll of Diego Garcia, but the US Embassy in Kuala Lumpur denied this. A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Malaysia told the local Star newspaper at that time that there was “no indication that MH370 flew anywhere near the Maldives or Diego Garcia.”
He added: “MH370 did not land in Diego Garcia.”
Dugain writes that the aircraft, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board, while on a scheduled flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, could have been hijacked remotely and then steered toward Diego Garcia.
Another explanation, he says, is that an onboard fire forced the crew to turn off all electronic devises without damaging the plane’s exterior, allowing it to continue on autopilot with everybody on board asphyxiated.

The testimonies of witnesses in the Maldives have been suppressed, Dugain claims, adding he was approached by a British intelligence officer, who warned him he would be taking “risks” by trying to find out what really happened to the MH370. As the British own the island, it would figure they would cover up any incident, Dugain said.
The US has consistently denied it has had any knowledge of the fate of the airliner, but Dugain doubts the US, which is “equipped with the best technology in the world” could have completely lost track of “a 63-meter-long object.”
Sir Tim Clark, CEO of Emirates Airlines, the world’s largest, said in October that he thought information on what happened to the doomed airliner was being withheld by some people and that even with all its electronic communications systems turned off the plane would still be traceable by powerful military radar.
