Try this. The pilot suffers an major heart attack and trys radioing an SOS, but he dies. Does the plane know how to fly or land itself?
Too early to call it either way although a deliberate hit has circumstantial evidence.
Evidence I'd like to see
1)The SOS call, verbatim and when.
2) An accurate trajectory of the flight at least from the time of the SOS. Was it straight or were there banks and turns
3) If they know his age why not release his name?
All control surfaces on the plane completely disabled after plane is on direct path toward downtown Milan.
Pilot unconscious or overcome by smoke, also after on direct path toward downtown Milan.
Keep in mind that any accident scenario also would have to explain why the aircraft could not have been directed away from the city during the time after the pilot discovered a problem and radioed in the distress call. I don't have many facts about the incident but most any pilot would instinctively avoid a flight path over downtown at the earliest sign of trouble, wouldn't they?
Add to that the probability of center-punching the tallest skyscraper in town, which just happens to be a government building and a financial center, entirely by random chance, and I have a very hard time feeling comfortable with this being an accident. Sure, it's possible. So is winning the lottery, and 3 people just won. But it's highly damn unlikely. I remain unconvinced. Tinfoil ON.
I'm wondering if the pilot hadn't passed out by the time he hit the building. If there was fire aboard as some reports are saying, there was probably a lot of smoke and he may have lost consciousness.
