And, did this alleged human take SSRIs?

I'd lay off this "alleged human" stuff.

If he was indeed on these meds then he had a mental defect and we shouldn't pile on people who cannot help themselves. All he did was destroy property and then himself. He could have dive bombed the plane into a high density area and killed untold innocents or go to a school and tallie up the dead count with a AR-15 type weapon but he did not

We all have our breaking points, some take more than others.

A little human consideration is due in this case.

The PERP had zero consideration for anyone else.

I wish they’d have shot the plane down.

Ketron has about 6 homes on it btw. It’s very small island.

My office is less than half mile away. Sucks if i’d been killed by that a hole.

And just how the HELL do you steal an airplane from an international airport????? Good grief...

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Agree.

Point well taken that we all have our breaking points.

However, the vast majority of people don’t take it anywhere near this level when they break.

This guy was broken, yes. But also spectacularly selfish.

The question I have is why was he able to operate the plane in the first place? All this security with the TSA (aka Thousands Standing Around), but none on the ramp. What did the rest of the “air side” people do, watch him pull the chocks, go to the cockpit, fire the thing up and taxi off? I only hope that a “real pilot” has be onboard a plane before any passengers are allowed on board.
