A hacker who worked his way into critical routing, fuel and other avionics over 20 times via in-flight entertainment, believes a smart hijacker could have used the same tactic to re-route Flight MH370 to a top secret location.

Flight MH370 vanished without a trace but with plenty of theories. One is the strong possibility a cargo of lithium-ion batteries, known to spontaneously combust and burn at high temperatures, could have brought the plane down.
