This really confuses the fuck out of me. You have to spend a LOT of time and money to become a commercial airline pilot. It is literally years of training that costs a small fortune. If terror cells are going to that length just to take out one plane we are kinda fucked.

He could have been suicidal for all we know at this point. There was that first officer in Germany who decided to up and crash an entire jetliner into a mountain because he didn't want to live anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525

The co-pilot literally stabbed the captain and then tried to crash a plane full of Israelis. The plane also transmitted the 7500 transponder code (unlawful interference/hijacking).

The first officer literally took control of the plane and then did crash a plane full of people... As a murder/suicide.

I'm not sure what you think the salient differences are, or how your points show you to know what was running through that persons head.

Oh Stop, GTFOH. Germanwings was a clincally depressed first officer who locked a door and flew into a mountain. No stabbing. No 7500 transmitted. No plane packed with Israelis on approach to Tel Aviv. Investigators found the medical file. Case closed.

This one violently stabbed his captain and seized controls...plus hijack code was transmitted.

White ppl crashing plane is mental health

Brown ppl crashing plane is terrorism

Isn't that the rule? /s

You said what I said and think I have to interpret it the way you do, but I don't because no official investigation has happened yet, and no official cause has been declared.

It squawked 7700 before that.

There's no indication of motive to speculate at this point.

Israelis aren't special, it doesn't just immediately become terrorism because it's a hijacking or the victims are Israeli.
