| MH370 would have been shot down during US-Thai exercises which involved live ammunition |
London: A book released on Malaysian missing plane claims that MH370 may have accidentally shot down during United States-Thai military exercises.
The book by London-based author Nigel Cawthorne, titled "Flight MH370 The Mystery", claims that the plane may have accidentally been shot down during joint US-Thai military exercises in the South China Sea and that the search may have been led astray as part of a cover-up, reported in Telegraph newspaper.
The book is published by John Blake Publishing in London which is released within eleven weeks after the MH-370's disappearance.
According to the book, US-Thai drill was to involve mock warfare on land, in water and in the air and would have included live-fire exercises. It further claims that one of the participant would have accidentally shot down Flight MH370 and such things do happen and no one wants another Lockerbie, so those involved would have every reason to keep quiet about it.
He further claims that failure to find the wreckage is also suspicious and even it is found it may not be original one as another black box could have been dropped in the sea 1000 miles from Perth while the search was going on in the South China Sea.
The book's author Cawthorne lives in London and according to his claims he has written more than 150 books, including "Sex Lives" series which includes private lives of popes, US presidents, Great Dictators and other notable groupings.
Inspired by the events, aviation author Christine Negroni is also writing a book about the MH370 which will be released by Penguin.
