The FBI analyzed the five flight simulator hard drives that Zaharie had at his home. Through Microsoft Flight Simulator X software, the FBI was able to recover the program's computer points that marked the southern Indian Ocean, the place where the plane disappeared, reinforcing the idea that the disappearance of the plane was an act that Zaharie had planned to do. , maybe as a form of suicide. The mysterious thing is that Zaharie did not have mental problems or any altercations in the past and that he was a lover of aviation. Then it would be quite strange if Zaharie had taken his own life. He may have been forced to crash the plane, for some unknown reason, which would explain the flight simulator at home, and that he had no problem whatsoever.
