interesting. I’ll have to dig for that. This was the first time I heard that the aircraft had an in flight fire two weeks prior to the disappearance.

The flight manual limit of 43,100 is simply a cabin pressurization limitation. The airplane is capable of flying much higher than 43,100. Claiming that the radar track altitude data was impossible because a flight manual altitude limitation was exceeded is absolutely incorrect and it immediately proves that the author is not a professional pilot, and has very limited or no aerospace/ commercial aviation knowledge. He’s a blogger with decent google search skills, He has no real world knowledge and as such should not be trusted to provide accurate information on this subject.
Just FYI.

Plausible theory
An interesting video that strings multiple known facts into a very interesting theory....
