Fire on Board MH 370?

Thanks Captain.


I shall be waiting anxiously for your expert opinion
I saw over CNN today that MH 370 flew below 12,000 feet after it stopped sending message. But why?


My feeling is there was possibly some decompression on board the MH 370 to force the pilot to lower the height so that the passengers can breathe, and also not affected by the rarefied air. Below this height there is lesser risk of hypoxia (oxygen insufficiency). 




Maybe there was a fire on board and there was smoke everywhere that forced the pilot to lower altitude so that the doors can be opened to let the smoke out. But the in-rushing air  will fan the fire even more? Don't you think so? But there are oxygen masks on board to allow everyone to breathe if there was smoke without letting air in?





Maybe the pilot and copilot were both overcame by smoke and became unconscious from asphyxia? The plane then flew on its own without directions (even autopilot will be knocked out with electrical supply) till it ran out of fuel?

A short circuit that caused a fire (assuming) may have  affected all the electrical systems in the aircraft, INCLUDING the transponders, radio and communication systems, etc.  



If that is the case, then how could the plane continue to fly because in my ignorant thinking, there must be some kind of fuel pumps worked by electricity to allow fuel to be pumped to the engines? 


How can the fuel just flow into the engines like that to allow the plane to continue to fly? Cannot be the fuel drained by gravity. How idiotic to think like that! Stupid! 



If there was an electrical failure, then there is no way the pilot could communicate by radio with the ground control. It will be radio silent. That may explain the mystery why it lost contact? 


In that case, especially if there was a fire caused by a short circuit, then there may be a blackout in the entire plane with smoke everywhere in the pitch of the night - remember, the flight to Beijing was after midnight.

 
In such a case, without vision, in pitch darkness,  without radio contact anymore, the pilot (if he is conscious) will be flying blindly without knowing where he was heading or going, especially it was in pitch darkness. 



My guess is, he probably tried to fly WEST in an attempt to catch up with the sun to see where he was going? I do not know? These are just some guesses based on logical thinking, whether mine was idiotic logic, intelligent thinking  or wild guesses? I just do not know. 


Until they recover the plane, we can never know. 



kind regards
