The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reportedly joined hands with Malaysian investigators to restore and analyse files from the home flight simulator belonging to the pilot of the missing Malaysian Airline passenger jet.

After the ill-fated Malaysian Airline went missing on March 8, all the possible reasons for its mysterious disappearance have been considered, including possible terror links of crew or passengers.

Upon searching the house of MH370 pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, investigators found a flight simulator that was made by the pilot himself.

According to news.com.au, Minister of Defence and Acting Minister of Transport Hishammuddin Hussein said that local and international experts have been recruited to examine the pilot's flight simulator.

Hishamuddin said that some data from the games on the flight simulator had been deleted from the simulator and forensic work to retrieve the lost data was ongoing.

The search for the missing jet has almost reached a breaking point as it has been nearly two weeks since the Boeing 777 carrying 239 passengers disappeared, but the authorities haven't been able to find even single concrete evidence about what exactly happened to the passenger jet.
