North Carolina co-pilot who jumped from plane upset about hard landing: NTSB
'Got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door,' report states of Charles Crooks incident (www.foxnews.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Natural selection? At least an unstable person didn't take anyone else with them. My CFI gave me a genius piece of advice. Fly an unworthy plane like your worst enemy, do everything in your power to tear it's ass up and walk away..
Sounds you and the Pilot had the same CFI... Maybe your CFI should have told him to land before walking away!
Read my post again there sparkler. My point was to sacrifice the plane for your life.
Possible but highly improbable. Not worth pursuing unless some really strong motive suddenly appears. Any conspiracy could happen (which is why conspiracy theorists get media coverage) but I just don't see it in this case. Doe not make commons sense, particularly given the KISS principle of nature - this would be just way to complicated to pull off.
The perfect murder...
Not for a moment do I believe this comment will be popular, however, the thought continues to cross my mind: what if it wasn't suicide? what if it wasn't an accident? What if it was ... murder? Why is the surviving pilot's story unquestionably accepted? With only his word, will the actual facts ever be known?
A comment is a comment. Possible but highly improbable. Not worth pursuing unless some really strong motive suddenly appears. Mine to your is: Any conspiracy could happen (which is why conspiracy theorists get media coverage) but I just don't see it in this case. Doe not make commons sense, particularly given the KISS principle of nature - this would be just way to complicated to pull off. Sorry but to support a theory you have to do more than arbitrarily dismiss the alternative theories.
I respect what you say, however, I don't believe thinking he could have been so distraught over repercussions of the landing gear incident that it would lead to his committing suicide, is keeping it simple. It's simply too too bizarre. There has to be some rational explanation.
Read my posts elsewhere but simply as an example: benzodiapine addicts can and do exhibit this type of bizarre behavior, and yes unfortunately, to the point of death. The probability of this being the case here is higher than your one.
Are you an M.D.?
Google may be able to help you understand what he is saying! You do not have to be a Doctor to understand some medications.. "benzodiapine" is used to treat Alcohol Addiction, but in its self can cause unwanted problems... You do not have to be a Doctor to figure that part out! We will never know what was going through the pilots head at the time. I cannot see this as something at the flip of a switch, It just about had to be something that had been building inside of him... In regard to the Drug, if it was in his system, the NTSB will have an answer if they do not already.
I understand what he's saying, spark. I asked because several of his posts deal with different meds and he spoke with assumed authority. I didn't mean to imply anything. I was merely wondering about his credentials.
