Claim that fire knocked out crew as they headed for emergency landing gathers steam

• Veteran Canadian pilot Chris Goodfellow says his viral online post debunks claims that the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight was hijacked
• Instead, he hails captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah a hero, insisting the only reasonable scenario is that a fire broke out and the pilot was trying to make an emergency landing at the nearest safe airport
• He says Shah turned the plane to aim for a 13,000 foot strip Palau Langkawi but was likely overcome by smoke before he could land
• The aircraft then continued flying as a 'ghost plane' for several hours before finally running out of fuel and crashing into the Indian Ocean
• He predicts the wreckage will be found somewhere west of the Maldives today

But the final "OK, good night" came 10 minutes after the transponders were shut off.

If a fire was knocking out instruments, they would have found out within 10 minutes, wouldn't they?

Why would they have flown over Malaysia instead of landing there?

How could the plane keep flying for hours?

It's unlikely the auto-pilot would have kept working if fire had knocked out all of the other instruments.

There seems to be some doubt about the exact timeline, I am not sure we can say that with any certainty.
