Aircraft

[edit]

The aircraft involved was a Beechcraft B200 King Air, built in 1994 by Raytheon as N1563M (BB-1489). It was delivered to South Africa as ZS-SMC, then it was operated by Major Blue Air as A2-MBM. It was equipped with two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42 turboprop engines.

Incident

[edit]

In the early afternoon, the pilot had an altercation with his wife at a party, he was asked to leave and people told him off.

Then he allegedly got drunk and headed to Gaborone.

The pilot stole the King Air from Sir Seretse Khama International Airport at approx. 18:10pm local time and headed towards a north-easterly direction to Matsieng Aerodrome, where the baby shower was being held. Reportedly he rang a friend asking for his wife whereabouts, prompting him to advise to evacuate everyone in the building. At 18:15pm local time, he arrived at Matsieng and performed several low level flybys around the airfield near the club facilities.

The aircraft did one final low flyby along Runway 36 and crashed into the clubhouse and ATC tower and destroying 13 vehicles at around 18:20pm local time.

There were no injuries or fatalities on the ground, the pilot is the sole fatality.

Investigation

[edit]

The crash was investigated by the Botswana Directorate of Accident Investigation of the Ministry of Transport. The cause is suspected to be suicide.

A leading theory amongst experts is that either the pilot or the co-pilot committed an act of murder–suicide.[42] A Canadian air crash investigator also believes the crash was a murder-suicide.[43] Former Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, has also stated that Malaysian officials always believed the crash to have been caused by a suicidal pilot.[44][45] An investigation by the Malaysian government asserted that the plane was manually flown off course. The lead investigator was quoted as saying that the turns made by MH370 were "not because of anomalies in the mechanical system. The turn back was made not under autopilot but under manual control... We can confirm the turn back was not because of anomalies in the mechanical system".[46]

According to the NTSB report, "...the SIC lowered the ramp in the back of the airplane, indicating that felt like he was going to be sick and needed air. The PIC stated that the SIC then got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized, and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door. The PIC stated that there was a bar one could grab about six feet above the ramp; however, he did not witness the SIC grab the bar before exiting the airplane."{{cite web}}: CS1 maint: bot: original URL status unknown (link)
