TORONTO – An oil rig worker claimed he saw the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 crash while working off the south coast of Vietnam, according to a report.
Bob Woodruff, an ABC News correspondent, obtained a copy of an email the man said he sent to his employer stating he witnessed the crash.
“I believe I saw the Malaysia Airlines plane come down. The timing is right,” the man said in the email. “I tried to contact the Malaysian and Vietnam officials several days ago. But I don’t know if the message has been received.”
According to Woodruff, Vietnam officials confirmed they received the email.
In the email, Michael McKay describes what he believed to be a plane burning at high altitude, about 50 to 70 km away from his location.
McKay said while he “observed the burning (plane), it appeared to be in one piece.”

The oil rig worker provided GPS coordinates of his location and an approximate location where he saw the plane.
“From when I first saw the burning (plane) until the flames went out (still at high altitude) was 10 to 15 seconds,” he wrote. “There was no lateral movement, so it was either coming toward our location, stationary (falling) or going away from our location.”
