Serious question: why is it so difficult to fathom that a deranged pilot could decide to commit suicide by plane?
- shash 1y agoNot difficult, but can you close an investigation on that note without going over other possibilities? What if there's another safety lesson to be learnt here?
- Spooky23 1y agoThe investigation isn’t closed. A preliminary report is usually required to be released within a few weeks of an incident.
- ExoticPearTree 1y agoTo answer your question: because it is a very rare occurence.
- cjbprime 1y agoIt's not that rare, and there are institutional factors (such as seeking treatment for psychosis being career-ending for a pilot) that incentivize serious pilot mental health crises being untreated.
- BurningFrog 1y agoAll commercial plane crashes are very rare occurrences.
