I didn't say this was ruled the official cause. I said it "seems pretty obvious [to a lot of people]".

** plane was clearly manually steered
** plane was flown for 7 hours after loss of contact
* catastrophic failure, etc. does not allow a plane to stay up for 7 hours
* no radio contact -- yes, I'm aware that during an emergency, pilot training is to communicate LAST and solve the emergency FIRST
* auto pilot was clearly manually reprogrammed
* first officer cell phone tried to make a call -- having your cell phone even turned on as a pilot once you leave the gate is a big no no

* So explosion, catastrophic failure, etc. are eliminated
* Hypoxia event is eliminated by manual steering / auto pilot reprogramming

Radar evidence also indicates the plane climbed to almost its max

Evidence points to the captain depressurizing the plane to prevent interference and crashing it in the indian ocean.
