'almost certainly'?

Do you have any sources for that? Everything I've read has suggested it as possible but never going stronger than probable

It was almost certainly boarded and hijacked in mid flight by commandos who flew the plane to khazakstan where it was used to fake the shoot down of MH17.

No, it was with the same 'almost certainty' an overheating of a battery back in the load.

Ok maybe almost certain is a bit strong but the aircraft maneuvered after losing contact along a path towards the open ocean pretty similar to one the captain had practiced on his flight simulator less than a month before. Not sure how an overheating battery pack would do that. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/07/mh370-pilot-fle...

Cabin filling with smoke, everyone panicking...
