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?
They stretched what he actually said at bit. But heh, everyone is
doing it so...... He said he believed he saw 370 going down, but
in the letter he says twice that what he saw was burning (plane).
I'd take that to mean that as you suspect, he's not even sure it
was a plane. But he did see some kind of fire in the sky which
isn't normal.
The letter is here and he's been verified through his company by
ABC as being real and on the oil platform, etc.

Curiously absent is one of the most important pieces of info.
What time? He says the time was consistent with MA370, but since
no one even knows where the hell it was when, who knows what
that means. But it's also in the same general area off southern
Vietnam where a commercial airline reported seeing a large debris
field a couple days ago. Vietnam says it checked both and found nothing.
It's a long shot. IDK how you explain a plane turning off transponders,
apparently not being picked up by Vietnam radar at all, then being on
fire and going down where the oil worker saw it.
