Oil Rig Worker Says He Saw Flight 370 Crash in Flames

A New Zealand man working on an oil rig in the South China Sea claims
he witnessed missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 burst into flames
before disappearing.

Mike McKay, who was working on the Songa Mercur drilling platform off
the Vietnamese coast, described the incident, which he said took place
50-70 km from his location, in an email to his supervisors.

ABC's Bob Woodruff confirmed with Mckay's employers that the email is
real. If what McKay witnessed was actually Flight 370, it would
disprove reports that the flight changed course and disappeared over
the Strait of Malacca.


You can read his email to his bosses at the above link.

And he knew exactly how that it was MH370 or heck he knew it was a place
exactly how?


The answers to your questions are in his email, at the link above.
Basically, he's reporting seeing a burning object descending. He
thinks it may have been the plane, because the timing is right.
