There was a flight out of NYC I think it was, before 9/11 when we weren't thinking of suicide attacks on air liners. It was an Egyptian flight and went into a dive and crashed into the ocean. There were reports of the pilot praying as the plane went down and being before 9/11 people weren't really thinking of a suicide to kill others, but it was speculated on. I remember Egyptian officials examining the pilot's background and such and it just never seemed to get anywhere. Does anyone remember that, and what the outcome was?

Yes, EgyptAir Flight 990... it's been mentioned earlier in the thread.  I don't think that was ever definitively proven as EgyptAir rather vehemently denied it was the cause.

The link says everything Egypt ever said about that case was 100% BS.

You think the co-pilot killed a plan load of people over a labour dispute?

The guy was muslim.

And all that killing was in the name of God which is very out of fashion in the west these days, so better keep it silent.

Do we have any information about the copilot's ethnicity/religion?  :ph34r:

It may not be murder.  He may have made a rational and self interested decision to end his life in defiance of the the statists would cared only about the "public good" of keeping the plane flying.  His was an act of supreme individual freedom.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I found this funny, the number is fatal accidents per billion passenger km. On the right is "motorbikes, etc". :lol:
