The Captain flipped out. He killed the copilot, turned off reporting systems, pulled circuit breakers, turned off the packs and ascended to 45k ft. to kill everyone in back, (the masks didn’t drop because system breaker was pulled). Flight/voice recorders store the last 2 hrs. of data, pilot has no control over that, breakers not located in flight deck so he flies for hours to overwrite data and dumps the aircraft in the deep remote Indian Ocean.

That’s what I think happened.

Interesting take. A 777 Captain called in to Rush today and said his take was similar except he said it was probably an Allah Akbar suicide. Said if you went nose in at highest speed possible "there wouldn't be a piece bigger than a thumbnail, it would probably all sink, and if the fuel was near fumes, there wouldn't be an oil/gas slick."

The 777 pilot caller also said he's talked with the FBI about his concern that, "there are a lot of foreign nationals flying on American carriers." "It used to be you had to be an American national to fly with the Airlines. Oh, we had a few Canadians, but they were all Americans. Sometime in the 90's they started 'admitting' qualified foreign nationals as pilots." He said, "Yeah, I'm a nationalist, hell I'm an ex-Navy pilot, but I think Americans should be behind that locked door." . .

Will anything come of this? Or will the PC police say the Afghani pilot flying for United is fine, nothing to see here, move along. . .
