I'm sorry to say that OhForSure's suicide theory fits well because:
1) like many suicidal people, the captain may have planned his death in detail. He would have known that cutting the fuel at this altitude would guarantee that the engines could not produce thrust before the aircraft crashed. He would have known that if the other pilot seized control it would be impossible to land in an area empty of buildings. And he would have known that he would be instantly rendered unconscious upon impact, with certain death at the same moment or shortly afterwards. 2) he may have wanted the investigators not to reach a firm conclusion of suicide so that his family would receive an insurance payout, and his family, friends and colleagues would not be vilified or feel guilty about not noticing his mental condition. His mayday call may have been carefully calculated to deepen the mystery of the final moments. He may have chosen fuel starvation at low altitude rather than a vertical dive from cruising altitude because the latter would have looked more like suicide and he'd have had the additional hurdle of preventing the other pilot from saving the day. |

He may have chosen fuel starvation at low altitude rather than a vertical dive from cruising altitude because the latter would have looked more like suicide and he'd have had the additional hurdle of preventing the other pilot from saving the day. -He could not plan for his death in a situation where there is potential for survival. -Any investigatory conclusion that the crash was the result of suicide or malfeasance would ensure no insurance payout would be made. -He could not hope to disguise his actions from being recorded in both data and voice. -The MayDay' call would cause more suspicion if he had NOT made it. -A high altitude descent at speed would have been far more likely to end in death, and the cause be less possible to discern. There's lots, psychologically speaking, wrong with this scenario too. I'd be much more convinced that this was an impulsive act or a psychotic one than that it was a planned suicide, meant to happen this way. |
