According to far-out theory from one of CNN's chief commentators on the aviation disaster and science journalist Jeff Wise, Russian President Vladimir Putin had ordered the hijacking of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 and landed it in Kazakhstan.

Investigators believe, due to electronic signal and "pings" that the plane flew south and crashed into the Indian Ocean.

Wise suggested that the pings that were detected off the coast of Australia had been tampered with that led the plane to flow north instead, reported News.com.au.

Wise said that one reason why Putin attempted to do so could be to hurt West and its allies as a response to U.S. sanctions on Russia before MH370 disappeared.

MH370 went missing on March 8, 2014 after it took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing with 239 passengers and crew on board.
