Malaysian officials have finally admitted that the MH370 pilot plotted a path over the Indian Ocean, the alleged crash site, on a home flight simulator.
Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the pilot of the missing aircraft, plotted the flight path into the Indian Ocean but it was just one of the thousands of routes on his home simulator, Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said.
"There is still no evidence to confirm that Captain Zaharie deliberately flew the plane into the Indian Ocean," he told reporters at his office in the federal government centre of Putrajaya.

"Just based on this, we cannot confirm he did it," he added.
