  • The MH370 crew and passengers were incapacitated by an oxygen deficiency. This made the unconscious, forcing the airplane to go on autopilot. Then, the aircraft ran out of gas and crashed into the sea.
  • There was an electrical fire on the airplane, forcing the MH37 flight to return to Malaysia.
  • The batteries and fruit in the MH370 flight's cargo formed an explosive mixture.
  • One of the MH370 pilots had a murder-suicide intent, leading to rumors that he deliberately crashed the airplane.

Right now, these theories will still remain speculated since the airplane's black box was never found.
