This flight didn’t even make it to 700 feet. The switch in question was operated less than 15 seconds after takeoff. Just doesn’t strike me as the optimum time to ensure a (for want of a better word) ‘successful’ suicide, but there we are.
Sad as it is, previous pilot suicides on commercial flights appear to have been very carefully planned out. Not sure if this one fits the pattern. Someone with more knowledge can tell me why I’m wrong.
But why take the chance? And why do it right after takeoff when your co-pilot is right there?
Not saying it’s impossible that it was deliberate, just find the certainty surprising.
How awful
You’ve been ranting for a solid hour on another thread about what medicines fat people should be allowed to take, why are you so aghast that other people choose to get passionate about other topics?
Why are you asking me to do a doctor’s job? You think I’m campaigning for people to be given weight loss drugs with wild side effects for the fun of it?
The NHS already issues all kinds of medicines that suppress behaviours.
Your sneering tone towards the people electing to use this medicine is telling.
So chronic health conditions aren’t worth treating in your view? What’s the alternative?
Personally I couldn’t care less if someone gets healthy without developing good habits, it’s the outcomes not the process we should care about.
Honestly, I don’t know why the government pays for roads and public transport when people could just be healthy and walk? It’s like people just expect to get places easily, where is the personal accountability?
