Why the figure 8 at the end?
It was quite possible to make sure there was zero fuel onboard. Fuel will float and make a large slick that could be spotted from the air. Assuming part of this was to make sure that it would be as difficult as possible to find. This would be in line.
Maybe waiting for the pane to go down while it's out of range of any possible radar? It seems to be in the middle of the ocean and maybe that was where he planned to more or less run out of fuel 🤷♂️
My mouth was agape when he revealed the figure-8…
He hypothesized in the video that the figure-8 was to check to make sure no ships were in the area to further decrease risk of detection. Personally, I think it’s not unreasonable to assume it was just a final joyride into the abyss.
