If I recall correctly, that was a Middle Eastern airline with an Egyptian pilot who decided to put it into the Atlantic shortly after departure from NYC.
Yeah, that was a separate incident, I remember the MSM playing the “he was depressed” violin.
That plane, If I remember correctly, was loaded with Egyptian military officers that had been in the US, learning anti terror tactics to fight their islamists back home. TWA, Egypt Air, and Swiss’Air dc10, all three down within months, every person died. And as I mentioned earlier, think they even left the same exact airport.
In hindsight, it's surprising that the pilot didn't turn the plane around and head towards a Manhattan skyscraper, but perhaps the copilot fought him. Not sure if the complete translation of the black box recording was released to the public.
Then there was the 9/11/2000 incident in Florida which I'm convinced was a covered up terrorist incident by the same cell that hit exactly one year later. I think the ID of that pilot was found in the car of one of the 9/11 hijackers in Boston after the 2001 attacks.
