There was an airline crash in Europe around the same time where the pilot just decided fuck it and flew into the side of the mountain. Can't remember if the copilot was in the bathroom or just also suicidal
Aviation authorities swiftly implemented new recommendations from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency that required two authorised personnel in the cockpit at all times, but by 2017, Germanwings and other German airlines had dropped the rule.
This was the exact scenario I had in my head when I typed my comment. Leaving even greater responsibility and agency to singular individuals commandeering transports with potentially hundreds of people is a recipe for disaster. But hey, anything for more profits! :capitalist-laugh:
There are a few holes in that line of reasoning tho, as both the pilots families reported that nothing was wrong in either of their lives, one of them was even about to be married soon. But maybe the "culprit" was just very good at hiding their anguish? Who knows, Flight-370 is notoriously hard to solve, cause there are just too many unknowns and with no blackbox it's impossible to really know what happened.
Personally I am a fan of the "there were microchip experts heading to China on the plane, so the USA hijacked it, crashed it and stole the blackbox." conspiracy theory, cause I think the USA is that petty about China.
Yeah the no black box thing is EXTREMELY sus in that instance.
In the last 20 years there have only been 3 instances of flight data recorders not being recovered and one of them was because the plane was stolen and whereabouts still unknown.
Isn't that one of the leading theories on how that missing Malaysia Airlines plane went down?
