Rule of thumb, mechanical issues rarely cause planes of this size to nose dive like this.

Before anyone asks this is not a 737 Maxx
I got nothing to say here.

I have no problems with people who feel the need to end their lives and do so with a minimum of inconvenience to others.

But killing everyone on an entire plane, just to commit suicide... it's easy to understand how mythological ideas of hellish, tortuous afterlives began. Because simple death is far too good for the pilot responsible.

Whilst I can understand that I often get a bit angry with people who attack others for the problems someone can cause when ending their life. One of the results of depression is losing the ability to really care about much else, so you need to be very careful to see if you're essentially attacking someone for being depressed; perhaps the target of that anger should be whatever resulted in that person ending up in that state.

No, I'm attacking people who commit mass murder in the course of ending their own lives.

Losing the ability to care is a symptom of depression. You're attacking people for being depressed.
