Plane likely ran out of fuel, says expert


PETALING JAYA: It is highly unlikely that Flight MH370 could have landed anywhere undetected and refuelled before continuing its journey, said an American aviation expert.

Military-trained retired pilot Col J. Joseph told The Star that if the recorded altitude deviations from 35,000ft to 45,000ft and 23,000ft were accurate, the aircraft was uncommanded and out of control or intentionally manoeuvred by a trained pilot.
