    This America, buy a gun.

    Or find a bridge.

    Or Google the “best” ways and pick one.

    This is something different. Either wannabe mass shooter who didn’t think he had the skills to get the body count he wanted, or he wanted his name to stick around longer than the 30 secs that the names of shooters do these days, or he was mad at his employer and wanted to hurt them…or…

    Point is, he didn’t just want to kill himself, he wanted to do it while causing a standout mass casualty event.

    Edit: I do want to add that it’s at least possible he had an immediate acute psychiatric issue e.g. Schizophrenic break and thought the plane was full of aliens, or something along those lines.

        What’s your point? That mistakes happen? That some people are too unfamiliar with guns, or stupid, to kill themselves properly, so the solution is… crashing a commercial airliner?
