Mr Higgins told Sky News until the aircraft and black box is found we “won’t really know what happened”. “But by far the most likely scenario is the captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah hijacked his own aircraft when the co-pilot was out on an errand to the main passenger cabin,” he said.
Mr Higgins said the pilot then could have “depressurised the cabin while he was on his long oxygen supply and put everybody to sleep through hypoxia”. “That is the most popular theory around.” Sky News investigates the mysterious disappearance of MH370 and reveals ground-breaking new details in a two-part documentary "MH370: The Untold Story".

Hijacking 'most probable scenario' for doomed MH370 flight | Sky News AustraliaSix years since the doomed MH370 disappeared with 227 people on board, there are still no firm answers about what happened. \n\nFormer Qantas pilot Mike Glynn, who is writing a book on the mystery, told Sky News he believed the aircraft was hijacked by one of the pilots. \n\n“I think once you work through all the possible scenarios, that’s the one that stands out as the most probable,” he said. \n\nMr Glynn said in order to find out what happened to the plane, a search needed to resume for the cockpit voice recorder and the digital flight data recorder - “both of which will tell a story”. \n\nHe said the digital flight data recorder “will tell us exactly what happened from the point of view of the systems of the aircraft”. \n\n“That’s the only way we’re really going to know what happened – by the recovery of those two devices,” he said. \n\nSky News investigates the mysterious disappearance of MH370 and reveals ground-breaking new details in a two-part documentary 'MH370: The Untold Story'. \n\nWatch or stream on Foxtel at 8pm AEDT on Wednesday and Thursday, February 19 and 20.

EXCLUSIVE: Chinese Ambassador calls for end to 'harsh' coronavirus travel ban | Sky News AustraliaChina’s ambassador to Australia Cheng Jingye has called on Australia to remove “harsh” travel ban restrictions in the wake of the deadly coronavirus outbreak.\n\nIn an exclusive interview with Sky News Chief Anchor Kieran Gilbert, Mr Cheng said the travel ban “unnecessarily” interfered with trade and travel and said Australia should be “coolheaded and not panic”.\n\n“We are deeply disappointed by the restrictive measures that have been taken because as I see it they are out of proportion,' he said. \n\n“As you said it is inconsistent with the professional recommendations of the World Health Organisation. \n\n“We have expressed our strong wish and hope that the Australian government in its next review will take into account the whole situation and take a balanced approach and consider removing those harsh restrictions or at least relax restrictions.”\n\nMr Gilbert pointed out that China itself had taken extraordinary measures well beyond recommendations of the WHO by detaining millions of people in Wuhan and the broader Hubei province.\n\nMr Cheng responded saying the situation in China was “totally different” from that in Australia.\n\n“We need to take extra measures to stop the spread of the disease whereas here the situation is totally different,” he said. \n\n“Australia is only one of a few countries which has taken such sweeping and stringent restrictive measures on travel.\n\n“We hope the (Australian) government will take a balanced approach and remove harsh restrictions or at least relax them.”\n No you keep the virus 🦠 contained by keeping tight restrictions on travel — look at the death toll climbing in China daily The Cheng is a monster.
