Whatever you've read, nobody has any idea what downed MH370. If it's a systemic error with Malaysia Airlines, then that error is still there. I'm slicing a bit with Occam's Razor here to assume that it wasn't the 777 at fault, but that airplane has had a peerless safety record up to now.
Wrong.

A 777 fell short of the runway at Heathrow a few years back due to the engines suffering fuel starvation from a build up of ice crystals in the fuel. Nobody was injured, but that doesn't constitute a particularly safe way to land

A 777 crashed at SF international last year when it came in too low. One person was killed according to my memory, several injured.

Definitely not a peerless safety record.
