CONSPIRACY? A new book is claiming MH370 was shot down by a US-Thai strike force over the South China Sea [GETTY] The book, which has been heavily criticised by relatives of those onboard the doomed jet, adds that search parties were then intentionally sent in the wrong direction as part of a cover-up.
Its author Nigel Cawthorne claims that the Boeing 777-200ER was shot down over the South China Sea and describes how a man working on an oil rig saw a burning jet in the sky and that this coincided with joint military exercises going on nearby.
CRUSHED: The claims have been heavily criticised by those who lost friends and family on the jet [GETTY] He adds that those countries involved may have sent potential rescue teams in the wrong direction to avoid being discovered.“After all, no wreckage has been found in the South Indian Ocean, which in itself is suspicious”An extract from Flight MH370: The Mystery
"After all, no wreckage has been found in the South Indian Ocean, which in itself is suspicious," he writes.
Rod Burrows was one of the 239 people onboard the jet which vanished while travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
His family have strongly criticised the timing of the book and the fact it offers no concrete answers about what really happened to the plane.
SEARCH: Despite months of searching no trace of the plane has been found in the southern Indian Ocean [GETTY] Cawthrone claims in his book, which has been released just 71 days since the plane vanished, the world will "almost certainly" never know the real story behind MH370's disappearance.
"Did they die painlessly, unaware of their fate? Or did they die in terror in a flaming wreck, crashing from the sky in the hands of a madman?" the book states.
The search for the wreckage of the jet is still ongoing in the southern Indian Ocean.
Despite spending tens of millions of pounds on the operation not a single piece of wreckage from the passenger jet has been found.
