A fellow pilot of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the pilot of missing jet Flight 370, says Zaharie was in the midst of a family crisis, was "terribly upset" and may have taken the jet on a "last joyride" over a part of the world he had never flown before.

A report in the New Zealand Herald this morning claims one of Zaharie's fellow pilots as saying Zaharie's "world was crumbling [from] serious family problems, including separation from his wife and relationship problems with another woman he was seeing."

The pilot, who said Zaharie was "definitely not a terrorist," said, "He's [Zaharie] one of the finest pilots around and I'm no medical expert, but with all that was happening in his life, Zaharie was probably in no state of mind to be flying." (Photo via New Zealand Herald)

New Zealand aviation expert Peter Clark agrees that Captain Zaharie may have been responsible.

"This had to be a pilot or somebody with expert knowledge," said Clark. "The co-pilot would not have the capability of doing this. It's a takeover of the aircraft. It can only be the pilot."

Meanwhile, the challenging search continues for evidence in the debris found by satellites.
