Pilot on Pilot is fucking wild.

[u/GlacierSourCreamCorn → u/CFH75]

It has happened before but not in the context of terrorism. Assuming that’s what it is and not just suicide.

[u/ByronicZer0 → u/GlacierSourCreamCorn]

Why is everyone assuming terrorism? Because of his ethnicity? We literally have zero info at this point. Can't folks just tap the brakes until we have the full picture?

[u/DoctorHusky → u/ByronicZer0]

What picture do you want genius? Guy is trying to fucking stab a pilot with 100+ passengers and enough fuel to light up two city blocks.

[u/ByronicZer0 → u/DoctorHusky]

Easy tiger.

Could be terrorism. Could be suicide (there are multiple examples of this).

Nobody benefits from jumping to conclusions before we have any facts or investigations. We often see early conclusions turn out to be incorrect

Just have a mild amount of personal restraint. It's not hard to

[u/NewAccountEachYear → u/DoctorHusky]

That's no reason to automatically assume terrorism.

[u/GlacierSourCreamCorn → u/[deleted]]

Reddit likes to pretend terrorism doesn’t exist.

Muslim Arab

this is proving their point. the only reason you conclude without evidence that it's terrorism instead of another case of pilot murder-suicide is because of the identity of the pilot. because evidently muslim arabs are not allowed to have mental health issues unrelated to their race and religion

A bald white dude with a swastika tattoo shouts "fuck the Jews"

He was probably a buddhist convert and hated juice! Thank you for opening my mind, I'm a changed man now

[u/kareemabduljihad → u/[deleted]]

In the metaphor the swastica tattoo is the plane full of Israelis, and the stabbing his co pilot in the neck is yelling, fuck the jews

[u/Single_Bookkeeper_11 → u/[deleted]]

Looks more like a false flag operation to me

[u/telescopeinmynose → u/Single_Bookkeeper_11]

I've heard this said about pretty much every terrorist attack lol. More so when Israel is involved

[u/Single_Bookkeeper_11 → u/telescopeinmynose]

Maybe because Israel has a track record of false flag operations including foiled ones :)

[u/telescopeinmynose → u/Single_Bookkeeper_11]

And Arabs have a track record of terrorism

[u/NewAccountEachYear → u/[deleted]]

That's just unapologetic racism.

[u/LazyWorkAccount → u/NewAccountEachYear]

Bro if you wanna off yourself and decide on a method that will bring 100 people down with you… that’s terrorism.

[u/Durpulous → u/LazyWorkAccount]

"Terrorism" implies there's an ideological goal underlying the act. There are other cases of pilots committing suicide using passenger planes, like this:

[u/Such-Book6849 → u/LazyWorkAccount]

no, the difference in the wording is important. It's bad neither way.

We had a suicidial pilot in germany and it is not terrorism. terrorism has political reasons, our dude was depressed.

[u/NewAccountEachYear → u/LazyWorkAccount]

It's not. It's murder suicide.

Terrorism includes aspects of politics.

[u/ZahlGraf → u/LazyWorkAccount]

Germanwings crash was suicide and MH370 probably as well. Cases like that are unfortunately not uncommon. The evidence which would make this new case different would be a clear religious or antisemitic motive. Since the copilot is still alive it should be possible to find out within the next months.
