No, panic followed by massive heart attack. Would not have intentionally risked the lives of innocents, IMHO. I don't understand the son's angle unless he wants to lay a guilt trip on his father's creditors.

Two of the people were lawyers. If every person who commits suicide just takes two lawyers with them...

Sorry, but that's really uncalled for.

It's no secret that people who commit suicide often don't care if they take others with them. We often remark after someone kills a bunch of people and then themselves why the dude didn't just kill himself.

It ignores the dispair that often accompanies suicide. If your life doesn't matter, nobody else's matters much, either.

A couple of months ago, my co-worker and good friend was driving down a Houston freeway when he noticed a woman on a freeway overpass stop her car, climb out, and jump. She landed about 3 feet from his car. Was she a skillful jumper who avoided killing a motorist by her precision landing? Or did she just not care?

The man is a murderer and if his son had prior knowledge and did nothing he should be charged with being an accessory.

I said yesterday that no "experianced pilot" would fly a small plane with engine trouble into a building.

This had to be on purpose.

So this is the second copycat of 9/11.

Presumably the next step will be copycats of the ME terrorist bombers.

Don't kid yourself, the guy did it for the money. Trace the finances the family gets over the next year, and I'll guarantee it came from muslims. In addition, statistically, suicidal people usually off themselves without taking innocents with them. The dork could have committed suicide just as easily, if he imitated a lawn dart.

Actually, it has come out...and reported on the major networks...he did NOT issue a distress call.

I am leaning toward suicide. It makes the most sense. If the flight info shows otherwise, it could have been an accident.

You are right on the money. I couldn't agree more. If his sole motive was to commit suicide why did he choose to go out with such fanfare? He was a 30 year flight veteran. Why didn't he just crash his plane into the Swiss or Italian Alps? Something or someone else must be behind his actions.

I just jumped into this story after breezing over it as no big deal, however the more unbelievable this story has become I decided to look into it more.

That should tell you a great deal that these things are not just spectacular and read better than Clinton scandals, because the reality is we are consistently lied to!

These latest facts were disturbing: highest building, suicide?, debt-excuses, air security has to be at its highest level globally right now so pilots are probably being more thoroughly screen than at any time in history!

Reminds me too of the response to the Tampa bank of America building and the initial and continued denial of terrorist ties when there are clear ties to Syrian, mid-east connections, not just an acne drug!

More likely he wants to lay a criminal investigation on them. If reports that the father was involved in "murky financial circles" are correct, then the people he was dealing with probably have plenty they'd like to hide from authorities. The son wants to avenge his father's death by getting them financially ruined and imprisoned.

the answer is obvious, he had money problems and was contemplating suicide so he accepted money from saddam or some other terrorist to drive his plane into the building. just follow the money.

It really wasn't even funny the first time when you posted it on another thread, and now after knowing
the personal details that it was a mother who died, leaving behind a husband and four year old son,
it is time to stop.

Yes, Murder!

Calling this a mere suicide is like calling the WTC attacks just "a tragedy".
It's like the FACT that Cher thought that Mount Rushmore was a natural rock formation
instead of a purposefully planned creation. But I digress.
