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?
I a plane blows up 50 km away in clear weather at 37000 ft you will
see a small flash of light and a puff of smoke - and likely some
flaming peices falling. Not much question what it is - but definitely
would not be able to identify what plane. If he saw something at the
right time, you would assume it is the plane in question.

When my friend takes off from Stratford airport 40 km away and turns
on his wig-wag lights at 6000 feet he can be plainly seen from
Waterloo Regional (if he is pointed towards the airport).That is a
plane with a 32 foot wingspan, and the lights are 3 inches in
diameter.
