This is the third time today that this has been posted.

After reading a little about the author, I am skeptical.

If the pilot was going to commit suicide, why blow the windows out with a bomb?

Why not just dive into the ocean or if he wanted it to look like an accident, land short at his destination. Taking out a few buildings short of the runway would kill even more people.

I think shoebat is off the rails.

No. He’s actually one of the few that are sane.

As you can imagine, there are a lot of people that would like to discredit him.

I’m not sure but I think the flight control computers would not “allow” such unsafe maneuvers. They watch pilot inputs and don’t let them do things that take it outside the nominal flight envelope. Maybe. A trained pilot would know, might not want to take the chance of the automated systems preventing the crash, or minimizing it into a hard landing short....

If the pilot really wanted to go jihadi, why didn’t he crash it, fully fueled, into Notre Dame or la torre Eiffeil?
