Fire Axe is usually kept IN the cockpit. Might have been using an Oxygen bottle or other hard object. Dunno.

They take my wine opener from me because of a 3/4" blade, yet there is an ax available on board?

WTH?

Probably wouldn’t have mattered. If the door started to give way and the co-pilot was bent on crashing the plane, he’d just put it into a steep dive or spin. These types of aircraft aren’t meant to take heavy Gs.

The Captain probably thought the copilot was unconscious or otherwise incapacitated.

He likely never knew or even suspected what mental state his copilot was in — if he had he never would have left the cockpit.

But his sense of urgency was aggravated by the 3,000 ft/min descent. He knew that would end badly if the copilot was really incapacitated.

They are now pushing the “medical depression” theory, and they may be right, or not. But did he convert to Islam? If so, when? Who else would believe in a reward of paradise for killing a hundred fifty or so Infidels along with himself?

So he was either crazy, drugged up on anti-depressants or Muslim.

Why would anyone cite the BILD as a source?
